Look at webupd8.blogspot.com, he has all those plugins we use on wordpress running on blogspot.
Still I love wordpress coz it’s Open Source and More customizable. I always like to play around with it.

Great list!

Although WordPress is easy to use (the admin is phenomenal), you can take it to a more advanced level, such as messing with code and CSS if you really want. Basically, the sky’s really the limit on what you want to accomplish using this tool!
