is WordPress the best blog package to use?

[guestcam]

I've made two or 3 blogs from wordpress, but cant say I am happy or satisfied that any of them have a look I am happy with.

I am looking for a blog package and themes that will give my sites something better in the graphics department. I am not that versed in PHP to make big adjustments or addons, but then again I aint that much better in my cgi tweeking either.

So I guess what I am asking is which blog making package out there - free or for sale - is worth the adult masters time (in the learning curve verses end result) ?

thanks in advance.
