Xsite Pro vs WordPress vs Dreamweaver?

Hello all all get straight to the point.

I have a personal blog that I’ve run for a year now. As a result I have a little knowledge of html, css.

Now I want to build several descent looking mini sites geared for adsense.

I plan to use original content on all the sites and have niches in mind.

BUT…. I don’t know what to use to build the sites. I keep hearing the following:

Xsitepro: Builds websites easy, cons are that it’s expensive and the sites all look the same. I’m not that concerned about the latter.

WordPress: Great for seo and has great plugins and it’s free, but its hard to customize. I’m a newbie so I’d have to learn code rather well to make wordpress blogs look like websites.

Dreamweaver: Said to be used by the pros, but it’s expensive, hard to use, and does not create "valid code" always.

I need something that makes fast, descent sites, with good seo.

And I was thinking about using photoshop for graphics work – can I use with all three?

Help me out guys wasting money isn’t cool. Thanks!!!

I am looking for a premium WordPress Theme?

My problem is that I have absolutely no experience or knowledge of CSS, Php, or Photoshop, etc. I am strictly a beginner attempting to build a blog and a small business. I would like suggestions for the best theme(s) available that a total newbie can work with. I’ve looked at several premium themes that state anyone can use them but I would like to hear the actual truth from the community. Thank you in advance!

How should I go about switching to Ubuntu?

I’m a newbie to Linux and I’ve been researching versions and obviously Ubuntu appealed to me, but I’m not sure how to go about switching to Ubuntu. I’d assume using a dual boot at first would be a smart idea to start out with, if not to keep. I am running on Windows Vista home premium on an HP Pavilion laptop. I’m also not sure which version of Ubuntu to get.
