WordPress Sucks

Ok, so maybe that’s a slightly inflammatory headline, using the WordPress engine to create a website that’s being hosted by a third party is fine, but using the free WordPress blogging system sucks big time.

Experienced WordPress users, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but to customise your blog, you have to PAY???!!!

If you would like the ability to save your changes and make your design visible to the public, please purchase the Custom CSS Upgrade.

What the?

In addition to all of the free features of WordPress.com, we offer a few options for paid upgrades for enhanced functionality. Credits cost $1 each. The buttons below will bring you to a Paypal page where they can be purchased. We do not offer refunds on credits or products purchased on WordPress.com.

Oh, so to change the colour of my headings, its gonna cost me US$15 a year?

I think I’ll stick with Blogger.
