Exactly. Outside of the nerd bubble of HN, Wordpress is still the defacto choice for a blogging platform. Nothing comes close to WordPress in terms of customization freedom and "zero to deploy".
- ryandrake 7y agoI agree. A social (card gaming) group I’m involved with used self-hosted WordPress and it’s been great. We use it primarily for events and post-game blog posts. Non technical people can contribute blog posts and other stuff, and I can occasionally pretend to be a sysadmin. Cost is essentially free since it piggy backs on a VPS that would otherwise be running anyway.
- masukomi 7y agoat 30% of the web, and made from years of sprawling PHP it's a Wonderful attack target which is why it requires constant updating, maintaining, and unfucking from the malware that got through. I have WP sites. I have static sites. i HATE the WP sites despite how much easier they are to use, because i'm constantly dealing with spam and BS hacking attempts (sometimes successful).
