Keeping WordPress up was a black hole of my time and talent, despite having shipped applications with substantially higher performance requirements than "Serve 20,000 visitors mostly static content over an eight hour period." This is totally orthogonal to programming skill or creating things that solve problems for customers. Good point but if you go from being an employee to an entrepreneur you'll need to pick up a lot orthoganal skillsets beyond programming: sys admin'ing, basic accounting, copywriting, etc... I recall you tweeted a few weeks back, the gist of it being "if all you want to do is program you're better off being an employee". That being said, congrats to the OP on taking the plunge, when I checked the site was back up and and it looks like you've got a solid concept. Best of luck to you.
