- roblp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Check your plugin compatibility before upgrading:

Some of mine are not listed, so I'll be waiting... - super_structure, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1His point about having Akismet built-in (no. 8) is right on. I've been using it for a couple of months now and very few things ever get through. That alone is worth the price of switching to WordPress and setting up a WordPress.com account (which is nothing other than a little of your time).
WordPress is a great content management system, whether you use it for a blog or just a (Mostly) static page. The support community is great and customizing your own code is relatively simple. I'm looking forward to v2.0 and it seems like a great time to make the switch for anyone using other tools with WP's new import features. - asciident, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wish this guy would proofread his blog posts before publishing. It's hard to take him seriously.

- super_structure, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0roblp: I've upgraded and even though most of my plug-ins aren't listed, it works just fine. You might want to turn off the default WYSIWYG editor as that seems to be the conflict with a lot of the plug-ins. I don't think I would use it anyway, as it removes custom tags I use (such as ). Just a though.
- troublemaker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Am I the only one who hate the word "blog"? I use Wordpress myself, and the first thing I did was to modify the entire source so there were no instances of the word "blog" on my webpage.

Are you kidding? His blog contains tons of content, and most of it is excellent information on how to become a ProBlogger (i.e. making lots of money through blogging). Have you even looked through his blog? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Drupal already had most of those features.
- ryanpc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't know how one could say his blog is lacking in content.. did you spend much time there at all?
- allthewhile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Actually Darren is pretty popular around the "monetization scene". I'm guessing because his blog IS full of useful information and good content. The guy doesn't get 1,500 subscribers for nothing.
- spyres, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wordpress seems to offer little I can't get with mambo, joomla, drupal, etc.
- serra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Eh, I don't think that people should try so hard to make money through blogging. I blog because it is a good fun release of my thoughts and emotions, I don't want to make money through that. Sure, if someone gets me something through my wishlist, that's fine. But other than that, I'm not going to try to get anything else from it.

- kindrobot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thank you graywave. I thought maybe I was just a curmudgeon or something. Makes perfect sense.
I think it's a good overview. - echimu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I see lots of good stuff on his site, don't just show negative thoughts to others.

- tarun, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0This guy sucks--he runs a blog about how to make profit from blogs. Nothing wrong with that, but I kinda found his blog a little lacking in content.
