Um, I'm not sure what you're responding to - I used to host a blogger blog

I feel your pain.
There are many things I love about WordPress but I don't have the time
to learn CSS right now and I don't want to spend the money on
customizing.
For my blog I bought some templates. They work OK.
For French Maid TV's web site I learned iWeb. I wish I could combine

Indeed. Wordpress is a popular target for attack because it is widely
installed, often by people who lack the resources to keep on top of
maintenance. I think wordpress and others have tried to improve ease

Everyone fears coming home from vacation to find their website burned down.
Maybe you can hire a website security company, buy some website insurance or
find a website sitter.

My web hoster actually does most of that for me (the backups, rollbacks,
