I've just got a bandsaw (seems to be a bit of an epidemic at the
moment!) and it came with a blade fitted as standard. I've been
following the discussions here recently on blade sizes, and I'm
wondering how the blade width is measured exactly, so that I can
determine what I've got fitted and decide whether I want to upgrade or
not.

So, is it measured to the tip of the teeth, or the hollow between the
teeth (I'm sure there's a 'proper' name for this) ?

Width tip to back, but go closest, without splitting hairs. Upgrade doesn't
count in blade width, but in blade design and tooth configuration. Blade
width is about the diameter circle it'll cut.
