It was a great way to learn HTML etc. which I still use that knowledge every day but I'd never do that now!

Wordpress will make editing a synch plus the plug-ins you can add will bring you a lot of features including SEO packs, Visitor statistics, anti-spam measures, themed templates, ......

Same here. I once created an entertinment themed site, which used a simple html dreamweaver template. At first I thought this was a way to cut down on the workload, but really it just massively resticted what I was able to do with the site. Once you hit 50 pages or thereabouts on a pure html site, you realise that there's effectively no going back now, and if any changes need to be made site wide in areas outside of the templated regins, you have a real struggle on your hands. It's also a nightmare to update the design in such circumstances. Wordpress is the way to go. I've even seen decent blogspot designs recently, although there's always the issue with the URLs not being all that SEO friendly. Still, it's preferable to pure html any day of the week.
