How Do I Love Thee
Posted by Lynnster on February 18, 2007
I totally missed it because it happened so fast, but WordPress had a brief outage and slowdown the other morning, which some of us recent converts to WP from Blogger had been discussing amongst ourselves as well as this conversation over at Kat’s place. Well, I think I did notice the slowdown, but not much because it didn’t last long.
So anyway, this note from Matt at WordPress made me smile when I came across it yesterday. No major outages since May 2006? Take that, Blogger!
Jeez, the simple fact alone that info like this even gets posted and shared by WP folks, and that they address problems in the forums and issue frequent updates and ETA on resolutions when glitches come up, is enough to make me fall in love with it. If WordPress was a man, I’d marry it.
In the meantime, I continue to keep up with the almost daily reports of the latest errors and outages, as well as silence from Blogger powers that be and lack of communication or updates, chronicled in Blogger user sites like here and here and here as well as some other places and Blogger user forums. In recent weeks, I have seen even some of the biggest Blogger expert users, many of whom were championing the Blogger cause throughout all the Beta headaches and were previously urging other users to keep giving it a chance and hang on, now seemingly have become about as disgruntled and disillusioned as an overwhelming number of users have.
I feel for ‘em all, but witnessing this and the ongoing problems just further makes me happy I jumped to WordPress. Viva la WordPress, y’all!

Can you help me figure out how to get LastFM to list my playlist? I must be a dummy.
