Individual WordPress?

Hi, I’ve been searching for a good weblogging program for awhile and came across WordPress several times. It has many features I was looking for, however, there are many others that would be unsuitable for my needs. I’m familiar with the so-called “WordPress Lite” article but it’s still too complicated.

Since I pay for my own personal webspace, a journal with comments, archives, categories, text editor and template support that won’t compromise disk space or bandwidth is ideal. Perhaps the WP Development team could consider a truely lite version for an individual user with a public audience.
