Had some eyewatering prices quoted at me for domains I really wouldn't expect. I’ve noticed attitudes changing amongst domainers… at least when they’re selling dot NET domains.

That way, if there is a problem with the latest update, I don't have to go back in again and make a change. Still, I like WP and find the updates to be a snap.

And what is to look at when there is nothing else to look at but ads. Somehow, it works like a pre-roll video ad. And since it is loading time, you can pretend it is caused by loading. And has no option to skip. *lol* I am not sure if I am happy or annoyed with this. But I think it is really creative. Hmmm very true, it is not really cloaking.

I search the internet like an old John Wayne movie for the newest plug-in widgets, tricks, or blogging techniques. Within the endless amount of hours; I'm very content, because within I gain a great deal of knowledge which sounds very cliche is priceless.

You said, "features like this keep wordpress from being given serious consideration by mainstream publishers." Then why would CNN (just one of many, many, good examples) use WordPress heavily in their own webspace? Could not possibly disagree more.

Security is tricky. As a piece of software becomes popular, it seems to have more security vulnerabilities because more people try to exploit it. I think this is certainly the case with WordPress. I have an article comparing WordPress, Drupal and Joomla security vulnerabilities over the years. http://blogbuildingu.com/wordpress/wordpress-security Whichever platform you use, it is necessary to update regularly for security reason. 2. Based on my experience with Drupal and WordPress, I can say that WP is the easiest to upgrade. It takes a few minutes at most. I was worried about WP ugrade to 2.7 last year, but after hours of testing, it seems like there's no real problem at all during the process, at least for my installation. ProBlogger.net featured my WP 2.7 upgrade article and it helped a lot of people during the transition to the new version of WP. http://www.problogger.net/archives/2008/12/28/how-to-upgrade-to-wordpress-27-safely-and-ensure-compatibility With control always come responsibility. You can use Blogger.com and have them upgrade the code for you, but they are less powerful. 3. I agree. WordPress does lack of enterprise features but remember that it has already been around for a few years. But for the need of support, which often is required by corporates, there are always Automattic and other companies who offer that kind of services. It's a matter of looking for the right tool to build your site. For me, 8 out of 10 times I recommend WordPress, for the rest I consider Drupal. I have a different point of view though:
