I migrated my personal blog from Blogger to WordPress a couple of years ago. I'm pretty happy with it.

I had originally wanted to migrate it to Drupal, but I couldn't find a good solution for Blogger-to-Drupal import that worked for me. (At the time, I was doing a fair amount of Drupal work at my day job, so it seemed like a good idea, but in retrospect, I'm glad it didn't work out.)

I know there's a lot of stuff out there that's "cooler" than WordPress, but I like it. The ecosystem for plugins and themes is huge. You can find most anything you want, usually for free.

I'm hosting my blog on a plain vanilla shared Linux host, rather than on WordPress.com or another managed host. I like the flexibility of doing it that way. It's a little bit of work to keep up with plugin updates, but not much.
