This post captures so many of the thoughts I've had about how it is NOT a simple answer of "going back to self-publishing on our own websites", because the nature of running websites is no where near as simple as it was. I have continued to write on my own blogs since 2005 ... but with all the ever-present security issues - and the need to do constant updates to my servers/vms, it's hard to keep up. The siren call of simple, centralized systems that take care of all of that for you is indeed a strong call!
