   Thanks Jay, very helpful perspective. I have Bankruptcy Bill hosted on WordPress currently, but based on your commentary, now I think it might make sense to switch over to another host, particularly as the site is very much about the intellectual property involved.

   Jay,
   I appreciate you sharing your loss with WP.com. Keep up the excellent work you are providing bankruptcy attorneys like myself. I immediately subscribed to bkpracticepro.com when I got an email from Kathryn Jump, of certificateofservice.com, which I use now exclusively for mailing my clients' Chapter 13 Plans. By the way, Chuck Newton at StayViolation.com was the virtual attorney who got me started with blogging.

   Jay – thanks for the info. I'm getting ready to launch a B2B website and created accounts on both WordPress and Blogger to become familiar with the technology and workflow. I also us Go-Daddy so your comments are very relevant to my business.

   When I researched the process of setting up WordPress on my own site, I found similar comments to yours with regard to the one-click approach. Minor coding isn't an issue for me – do you recommend I set it up manually or use the one-click service? I haven't spent too much time working with Go-Daddy so I don't have your experience with their service.

   Dan, I believe that if I do something myself then I understand how to fix it when it breaks. A WordPress install takes about 5 minutes, and most of that time is spent uploading the files to your web server. That having been said, using the one-click install from GoDaddy is a quick and easy way to get the same job done.
