Installed it the other day, still can't get it to work. |

Never used it. All I want from Wordpress is an API key so I can run Akismet on my own blog to filter spam. I also use LinkSleeve, but that's not quite there yet. |

Try Serendipity. Much easier to use than Wordpress. Easier to template. Fantastic Media Management. http://s9y.org I've updated inline since version .8 and we're at 1.1.2 now. |

Wordpress is great. Easy to setup and maintain plus it has a ton of themes. I love it. |

Wordpress has some security issues. Both Gentoo and Debian are talking about dropping it: http://www.solo-technology.com/blog/2007/03/09/debian-and-wo... |

The security issue was with one version and was quickly patched. I haven't had any security issues. All software is as secure as it's written. The thing is how quickly the developers fix the issues and whether they're open about it. |

er, did you even read the Debian and Gentoo links? That's not what their security teams are saying. Have you already forgotten how their download server was cracked and the download backdoored?

There's a steady flow of security issues being found in Wordpress and we don't believe it's sanely maintainable over the course of 30-36 months. (Etch life-time)" "I give a lot of weight to concerns expressed by the security team. Granted, they don't get to pick their bugs, and it would be unreasonable for the security team to throw out, say, all packages that had ever had security bugs, or to decline to support all packages of Priority optional or lower due to lack of manpower; but I think the difference between "this package is bound to have security issues because it's large and addresses a difficult problem space", and "this package is bound to have security issues because its very poorly designed or has atypically low standards for acceptance of contributions" is relevant. It's my impression that the security team's objections to wordpress stem from a belief that it lies in the latter category" The largest category now for security problems is Web applications, so it seems that extra caution is the wise approach. Not going 'lala, no problems here.' |
