I used to host my own blog on wordpress. I had some web space over at NearlyFreeSpeech (great host by the way). I never got a whole lot of traffic but what I found most frustrating was the multiple updates I had to perform. I'm not saying anything bad about Wordpress, it's a great piece of software, but as a student I simply don't have time to check if I need to update my core installation or a plugin. Plus I would do all my updates from source (I had tweaked the source code a bit and the automatic method would have overridden my changes). After reading this article, I decided to sign up for Posterous and give it a whirl. I like it so far.
