I fear new things and have anxiety issures learning things like WP. haha
Actually, when I started out in May, I didn't have the skills (never did more than search the web, download photos, and check e-mail on my computer) or time to learn (two wage earning jobs) about hosting and WP. Blogger was very easy and a good place to learn a little about html.
My son has skill and making a bit of money (about $15 a day plus revenue from selling ads) but just hadn't made the time to make the switch, he'd rather work on something else, he's got his own domain and WP now since I set it up for him for a
Christmas present! (I'm short on funds this year).
