I've decided to do the same as @Aaron having given it some more thought. I am going to keep my blog on Wordpress so it remains independent, I retain any feedback and I can link it to my LinkedIn profile, but I'll give SBI a go initially and match the look and feel of the site to my blog, assuming the SBI template is flexible enough.
Even if it's just for a few months to get my site build knowledge up to scratch, it's quicker and less hassle than taking an adult education course on how to build a website
. Have to say though that SBI don't do themselves any favours with the design of their own site, it's the recommendations from people here that have helped me decide.
