Yes.
The only issue I see with using a well known & open source blogging
software such as WordPress is that if you do not keep current your site
will get hacked. If you forget one of the most famous ones I know of was
the following & from what I read back then it had happened a long time
before the story was run on it.

I admit I run WordPress for my blog but I try to keep the version up to
date, I keep my plugins up to date (Which is easier with the newer versions
for plugins hosted over at wordpress.org), & I run some plugins to deal
with security on my site. True it isn't hack proof but it is not going to
be the easiest target.
Yes I see WordPress blogs hacked all the time by customers not taking the
time to secure their sites. I can't remember if I've mentioned this or not
but I work for BlueHost. So yes I love WordPress but I really think you
need to take the time & effort to keep it secure.
Now some sites I recommend customers to go to to see about securing their
site. (Please note I'm only affiliated with Blue Host the others are just
sites that I've found useful for securing PHP.)
This site has some information on PHP & security.
which is why we will likely do this using python but I posted on this
list since many people on this list have excellent web architecture and
design skills.
