    Hello,
    I have a bit strange question. :confused:
    I want to make a blog with name like cellarena.blogspot.com. I want .blogspot.com to be there. And i want to work on that blog with wordpress instead of blogger so that i can get a vast option of plugins and stuffs.
    For example labnol.blogspot.com OR techcruser.blogspot.com . Have a look at these sites. The name suggests that it must be a blogger's site. But when i visited and saw its source i didnt find it to be of blogger.
    So i am planning to make a site like that.
    Can you guys please guide me that how can i do so ??

    Ok, first of all the domain name shouldn't make much a difference. If your content is good it is not going to matter if you have xxxx.com, xxxx.blogspot.com, xxxx.wordpress.com... you are relying to much on the domain.

    Second of all, anything hosted on xxxx.blogspot.com is going to be powered by the blogger engine. Even the websites you posted. They have a template that is hacked to hell with some nifty customizations in there but the back end is still blogger.

    I would recommend just going to wordpress.com and getting a free account and playing around with it. If you really like it you can always buy your own dedicated domain and move over to your own hosting.

    Wordpress can be very powerful, I use Wordpress for the majority of my clients (when applicable). It will blow blogger out of the water :)

    Hope that clears things up for you.
    Cheers

    Id recommend buying a domain and either installing your own blog like wordpress or using a free wordpress subdomain and redirecting your domain to it.

    There are some fairly comprehensive instructions on the wordpress site when you follow the download link, or http://www.techasis.com/tutorials/webhosting/how-to-create-a-blog.html

    Coolhui_143... Wordpress has a ton of free themes to choose from. Installing them is simple in that you just upload the theme files in their folder structure to your web space, log in to the admin section, click presentation and click a different theme. There's 1000's over at http://themes.wordpress.net/
