To switch or not to switch

I haven't been completely happy with some issues I've had with Blogger lately. Consequently I'm considering switching to a hosted Wordpress site. Have any of you ever moved from Blogger to Wordpress, do you have any tips or suggestions? Those of you using Wordpress, what has your experience been with that format? Have you been pleased. I'm a little cautious about taking the plunge, I would love your input! Thanks.
