Wordpress is fun for a hobby site. However for a business site or a site you rely on for any income, wordpress is a liability!

Wordpress gets hacked all over the web every day. Wordpress is the most spammed software on the web. And they have so many security updates they are difficult to keep up with leaving your site vulnerable and a liability to your business.

And STILL, people promote wordpress as THE solution for blogging. WhaWHat? Get real.

Sometimes I get emails wanting me to promote some wordpress blog post, wordpress ebook, or for wordpress advice. I thought I might make a fun video to give my opinion of wordpress: Wordpress Sucks!

But doesn’t Wordpress have the most bells/whistles/dingdongs/horns? Maybe, but they come with a security price. And 99.9999% of those doohikiees don’t have anything to do with blogging and mostly serve to distract you from blogging. All you really need is a publish button and a text box.

What else is there? I think typepad is a good alternative. They handle all updates, very little spam, and it’s difficult to find anybody that’s ever been hacked with a typepad blog. Sounds like a much better solution to build a business on then the spammy wordpress.

(sidenote: If you are from typepad and read this, why did you decline my application to your affiliate program? Still love your product though ;)

The next time you see somebody promoting wordpress for anything more than a hobby or test site, show them this video or give them this link. Wordpress Sucks!
