You can totally do WordPress.
WordPress can be so intimidating at first. When I switched from Blogger, I cried. And I'm not a crier.
But that happened because I didn't have someone telling me where to start, and to start small. (Just the typical "How to Start a Blog in 5 Easy Steps!" post from a popular blogger. The only thing that was easy was giving someone my credit card, and I learned later that they only write those posts for the $65 commission from their hosting company, not to actually help people.)
