I am trying out Wordpress.com as an alternative for hosting the Learning and Innovation blog. I am just flat out tired of dealing with my wordpress problems on my host and I may just find life easier with a hosted solution (did I mention it is free). Check out how it looks and works for me.
The thing I need to know is what are pros and cons of this move? Anyone have insight for me?

Hi Cole,
As much as I like the look and feel of this site (esp. with the new look and feel of the Post-K2 theme) I would probably link up with Wordpress. I wouldn't want to have to deal with SQL errors and other time consuming headaches like you are experiencing.
I tried out Wordpress for myself and have enjoyed it so far. The "Free" concept is probably the biggest draw for me. I am sure with some time and experience you will be able to emulate the interface (or even a better one) using wordpress. I believe that if you want added functionality however, they want you to ship out a few extra dollars. Nice work with the WP site by the way.
