BUT, as a reader and occasional commenter, one glaring deficiency I do note with WordPress. A few blogs use it for comments as well as posting, as many do with Blogger. But while Blogger uses the same ID and Password for all site comments (always did, though now it is Google account linked) WordPress sets up an individual login set for each site. And many of the sites using WordPress signon will not allow any other form of posting a comment. Annoying. And yes, this may (have not tried, but possibly) be bypassed by setting up your own blog in WordPress and using that login for other sites - but as I said, I do not blog, and since I would not keep the blog active it would eventually be deleted.

This has happened with a number of high profile blogs recently. Updating is not hard (click a link, wait for it to complete), but it is a chore.
