It's easier if you use your domain from the outset. As time goes on and more content added to blogspot the more problematic will be the conversion. The search engines will be referring to your old links and what about images. If images are used extensively (even a little) in blogspot I doubt there are any converters that also copy and transfer images to your new location. You will be stuck with referring to those images back at blogspot. Remember, those images are also hardcoded in the post entries (not possible to use relative terms in blogspot).

As others have said, hosting plans are relatively cheap these days.

As to which package/system to use, I use Drupal but the common one is Wordpress.

Just my two cents worth.
