    Well, anything that helps create more blogs is a good thing. There are still literally dozens of housewives out there *NOT* letting us know that Jeremy pooped in his potty for the first time today.

      Actually, I've met many tools who control people. Here is a picture of one of them.

      Blaming WordPress for crappy blogs is like blaming furniture when you stumble over it.

      Grab a grip man.

    How easy it is to implement a blog is always a sure indicator of that blog's content quality. I have found that the blogs which are hard-coded from scratch using vi atop LAMP hacked onto a toaster oven are inevitably post-modern literary masterpieces.

    Software developers and computer hobbyists inevitably make the best writers, don't you agree?

    The more I use Wordpress the more I like it.

    Don't worry! That is a well understood condition.
