But then that's what I like about it - the flexibility. WP is simple enough to learn on your own if you're only willing to take the time to do so. Or ... simply concentrate on the writing and hire someone to do your CSS and graphics. Tumblr, like Posterous, is a brilliant solution for those unwilling or afraid to get their hands dirty with WP.

It is so much work. There is always something to update or a plugin that conflicts with a theme, etc. I jumped on Tumblr and rather than fight the platform, I just accept that I don't have 300 plugins to research, test, install and deconflict and then update and just focus on writing.

And yes, we WordPress wranglers would have to find new ways to add value to what we do for a living. That's 100% OK with me. The ones with value to give (like me) will be fine.

I started using Blogger in 2004 and was disappointed in the lack of capability so I migrated to Wordpess. Wordpress isn't perfect but it has certainly improved over the years. As for whether you can run a big business website on Wordpress, well I then used Joomla! I'm told that Typo3, Ektron, Drupal, and MODx are "better" but just don't have the time and money to try and run complete, identical commercial applications on each platform to decide which one I dislike the least. "Apple simple" is usually great unless you're a power user. And besides, if you made Wordpress so simple wouldn't you make so many Wordpress wranglers redundant, in the same manner that you might put mechanics out of work if you made the automobile maintenance-free?

After trying to install Headway and having it fail after installation, a friend clicked a few buttons and I'm running Thesis. But, it's not without fear. Blogging is a cinch; it's the IT that makes it hard. Thanks for this post, Chris! I absolutely agree 100% with you!
