Very funny, I kinda had the same thoughts these past four months as I wandered through WordPress after an eight year absence from all the open source, php software.

After reviewing common open source platforms such as Joomla, WordPress, Clip Bucket and a few other video platforms, my conclusion was that php and open source php platforms are still as buggy as ever and always in need of updating for security reasons.

Never faced that problem with my HTML5 sites.

Still, not wanting to WordPress bash, after evaluating hundreds of plugins (rather than the thousands available) I came to the conclusion that there are more than a handful of WP plugins that seemlessly integrate with the WP core, making for a fairly stable, secure platform.

By definition, it's a niche marketing site. Therefore, any DU members with internet or SEO interests are invited to self-publish their own product promotions and/or reviews.

The software I used allows for one dofollow link in the content etc (see the SEO insight page for more details., I'm a former colleague of Chris Sherman over at Search Engine Land.
