Freaking BLOGGINGPRO. You think most people want to become professional bloggers? No. They want easy to use blogging software that lets them share thoughts, creative musings, and media, with friends, family, and maybe a larger online community.

If you think WordPress is easy to use. Try asking a blogging newbie, but otherwise tech savvy person, to create a WordPress blog using a custom theme downloadable elsewhere on the net.

You will LITERALLY get into FTP territory, and most people can’t define that. CSS, HTML. It’s ridiculous.

Again… WORDPRESS SUCKS!

WAKE UP PEOPLE! if you every do business with them directly, you’ll see how matt mullenweg is nothing but a big-headed kid who wants everyone to worship him and doesn’t give a crap about what he does as long as his company is getting bigger. same goes for the people who work for him. wordpress, automattic, whatever their name is, they’re a scam with evil intentions.

it’s a matter of time before their investors wake up.

I’m a busy man, and when you’re busy time goes by pretty fast, if I have to upgrade a website today and after 3 or 4 months I have to do another major upgrade I feel like it has been 3 or 4 weeks between updates. One site it’s fine but over 500… oh dear!

Personally I’ve being using WP since version 1.2 and whenever there was a new release I was excited but now I just go “now what!”

If we talk about security, I understand a patch or something but…
a new release that most likely is gonna break something or give even a minor headache is annoying.

Lots of up to date WP blogs are hacked as well. Some of the problem isn’t directly attributable to poor code on Wordpress’s part. Plugins and themes can be poorly done, what Wordpress should do is find a way code more securely and sandbox against the plugins and themes.

For now I use Blogger ftp’d to my own server with my own domain.

The ultimate way of keeping WordPress uptodate is using Subversion, but on the flipside it’s alot harder than going through fantastico for your average user.
