  1. To be honest, I personally prefer self-hosted WordPress because I can know exactly what it’s runninh, own my data, and be the boss of it. On WordPress.com, you’re at their whim.
    But I understand self-hosting is a chore not everyone wants to do. Specifically, Donna from my WordPress Meetup struggled with it: https://www.retirementreflections.com/what-i-did-during-my-blogging-break/
    So I wrote this for folks like her.
    I hope to have another post where I will compare the merits of WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress..:
