There are benefits and downsides each way. I also have far more control on the back end by hosting it myself, and I have a tendency to dig into the code for my sites and modify things from time to time. That is not easily done, and often impossible, by using their hosting. Part of it is that I enjoy the admin side of hosting my own site. There are benefits and downsides each way.

I was thinking of that but after looking at the pro's and cons of it, having wordpress host it was hands down the winner. This is why. They back up your data They are always updating to the newest version But for me the MAIN reason I used their site was because they send you traffic, when I put a tag in my messages people all over wordpress can find it. Many people surf tags and I get about half of my hits from this process. Also it is easier for people to comment to track it. When I place a comment on another wordpress sites blog it goes into my comment history. I can easily look up my past comments and if there were any more after it. I can't do that on your site because it is not part of the system. I noticed that you host your own wordpress software on your own box.

I tried quite a few blog software programs and went to wordpress back in Feb, and never looked back. It was so much better and easier to use. Enjoy. I noticed you went to wordpress.
