Why I Will No Longer Recommend WordPress
Posted by Ted Hopton on October 18, 2008
Sorry, WordPress, but I’m fed up with your ham-handed restrictions on what I can do with my blog. I like the layout choices you give me. I like the design and look.
But when are we going to be able to use the cool javascript widgets and gadgets that other blogging platforms permit? I just wasted 20 minutes trying to add a little FriendFeed widget to this site, so people could post to their FriendFeed from here. Nope, you blocked it over and over. I had to settle for the little chiclet link, instead.
I have friends who know I blog, and when they want to get started blogging they ask me what platform they should choose. I used to say WordPress, but now I plan to send them elsewhere. You’re holding us back, as well as yourselves, WordPress.
