To PHP or not to PHP?

Woah, the veil of technical complexity descends. I've managed to get to a point where I've realised that most hosting providers either support external blog sites like wordpress or blogger, but if you want to have control of your blog on your site it's all a little bit tricky.

So far, I've managed to get my hosting to set up a content management system (Drupal) on the www.futurish.com domain, but somewhat inconveniently the only blog service it seems to instantly support is wordpress not blogger. I'm now a little bit torn as to which one I should use.

The only alternative seems to be to create my futurish, or indeed any other site I want to host my own blog within my own functional site in PHP - something which to date is a little outside of my abilities. The question is whether or not it's a good idea to learn PHP just to solve this problem. Part of me is intrigued but another part of me is reminded that this is supposed to be something that is accessible to all not just to the few - I need to find a formula that makes it work for all.

The saga continues...
