The NY Times also uses WP for its blogs. Not to mention TechCrunch itself!

WP is a leader in the market. But yeah, I wish it was more secure. They are growing much faster than MT though.

Actually, Todd, I have never had a problem in upgrading any of my WordPress installations, and I have been a faithful WordPress user for quite a while. For me, it is a simple FTP install, as I find that the one-click install webhosts provide tends to lag a bit. That said, updating plugins can be a small hassle, but the later versions of WP have a way to alert an Admin user to updates for their themes and plugins. I fail to see how this is difficult, but I will admit I have not toyed with email notifications from my admin interface as to when updates are available. We can agree to disagree on this one, but I found the SixApart post to be a bit in the theme of the Mac/PC ads.

Hey Todd

If this was the story you were hesitant about publishing about a “competitor” I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s good to have opinions on both sides of the fence. Personally, I use WordPress and love it! I value any opinion (positive or negative) about anything as long as the statements are supported by facts/valid points. You have a valid points about WordPress. Google has thousands of WordPress blogs indexed – the minute there’s an exploit Google does the rest.

Thanks,
Justin Gill
