One of the pluses to Wordpress is it's free and highly versatile.Stay away from plug ins and free templates that steal your SEO juice.Another down fall is word press is highly targeted by hacks.You have to keep very up to date with word press updates or your website can become compromised by mal-ware,hacking etc.This is why so far I haven't used wordpress and have stuck with Joomla.Word press is promising but can be unstable at times.I might switch eventually.

Is your laptop 100% free from malware, Trojans, or simply theft?
