Yeah, I think that if I didn’t already have my own site, I would have given WP.com hosting some serious thought – it seems to be a good resource for WP blog hosting, and getting updates and all that stuff instantaneously is cool too.

I do enjoy the complete control over everything I have with this setup though, so no complaints from me. I’ll be dropping RC1 on my blog today I think, so hopefully all goes well.

I guess a bonus of having your site hosted by WordPress, is not just an issue of bandwidth, but also that it gets uploaded instantly.
Which can be a problem for me, as I only have Dial-Up, it can be a real pain.
As well as using cPanel, it can be annoying uploading all of though files!
So, for me, it was the better choice.

I wanted to get RC1 on my site so that when the official release hits, I can take advantage of the auto-update feature.

And yeah, I’ve not seen any good plug-ins for equations, Yourself. I kind of wish WP had built-in codebox support too, but the plug-ins I’ve tried for that have been decent, so I guess I can’t complain too much.

Plug-ins for equations are crap, though. No one’s made anything that’s actually decent (like a WYSIWYG equation editor that integrates with the comments form). It’s quite fiddly getting equation stuff to work. I wish there were better support for it.

I just downloaded the wordpress thing a week ago, uploaded it to my host, and i like it so far. I am only going to wait to download that release candidate thing for a little while
