Hmmm - this is rather like the early days of cars. You used to have to decoke the things on an annual basis, and be prepared for serious, regular maintenance. Now, apart from annual oil changes (less in some cases) you can expect 200,000 miles and ten years of regular use without ever touching a mechanical part. Cars, similarly, are open facing. They get stolen, they get, attacked, they get stonechips and so on. The quality car makers produce cars with tough, chip resistant laquers, Thatcham grade car alarms and immobilisers and so on. They accept the weaknesses of the world and they work to reduce the hassle and cost of ownership. They also do an incredible amount of testing. We're in the early days of web software, but I can assure you that this kind of situation we find ourselves in absolutely cannot continue if we want mass market self-management of sites. Either that or we accept that self-hosting is a specialist job. But it didn't used to be, so it shouldn't continue to be. We need to deliver quality solutions to our clients, not constantly shifting high maintenance heath-robinson items. |

Business is great over in WeFixWP land (apparently so busy, we can't even keep our own site/forms/info up to date!)
