I see many blogs from wordpress is more attractive in designs and functions. I am thinking to switch to wordpress from bloggerspot. I have some HTML skills, but I don't know any php or things like that. I'm willing to learn but programing is just a lot beyond my brain. I hope I can learn some simple things then start using it. Do you think it's possible?

If you want to beautify your blog in Wordpress i guess you need to know a little html but in my experience in Blogspot, there are templates provided so it's easier for the user to create and star a blog. I think the same goes to Wordpress. As long as you can read the instructions and follow well, then i guess there's no need for comprehensive skills in programming. I've seen a lot of Wordpress blogs and i've seen a lot of neat blogs actually.

What? Blogspot is not Flexible? This is first time I read it. It is most flexible platform available for free out here!

Not actually. Wordpress don't required any special skill to start with. If you know basic things you can start with Wordpress. If you know some other stuffs like HTML then you can get some benefits.
