Wordpress is pretty user-friendly. Maybe not as quite as Blogger, but it's getting user-friendlier by the day. A li'l bit of commercialization is okay. :-) Vi>> True!

So some amount of commercialization is okay, I guess. But as long as free users continue to get decent amount of functionality, I don't think we need to worry. Also, the non-hosted version of wordpress continues to be free. witnwisdumb>> The thing about services on the web is that they need to generate revenue otherwise however useful/popular they may be, they are likely to go under sooner rather than later.

They just don't realize that a blog URL is pretty much like a telephone number. changing it causes you to notify so many people! And it plays havoc in the search results too! You should give Wordpress.com a try. Seriously! Twilight Fairy>> Aah! the old webring!! Us webring mein toh sab qatar mein hain! :-))

It is becoming commercialized, but it is also very user-friendly. I love wordpress…I switched to it before this blogger beta business came about and glad that I did!

They oughtn't to have brought it out of beta so soon, with so many problems still unresolved. However, while WordPress is undoubtedly fabulous, especially if you're using your own webhost, it is slowly getting increasingly commercialized. True.

So it seems.. hum Qatar mein hain .. ok bad PJ. Migration in blogs has somehow never been addressed. Pathetic as it is, it just introduces more garbage to the net. I have been using rediffblogs since years now and imagined that when rediff came with rediffiland (which sank without even a pipsqueak), it would at least have the option of migration. But zilch. There was no other option except for starting a new one. Been considering a migration but only once I find an actually stable service provider which would give me flexibility as well as good porting facilities.
