I chose WordPress as my replacement for Blogger because it is actively supported by a tremendous network of open source developers.
One of the biggest benefits of WordPress is that its initial installation can be enhanced with hundreds of user-developed plug-ins that provide special features not everyone needs.
I am currently on a 2.8.x installation of WordPress, which has brought me many new plugins to drive the backend of the site. In the future I will update this page to reflect the most useful of those plugins.
