Hey everyone, I'm one of the founders. We started Blogic to cure the headache of recreating your website's theme on an entirely separate blogging platform such as WordPress. It was a huge pain with my last startup, and inspired me enough to solve it. Please email sean [at] blogic [dot] com with any suggestions or feedback.

Hey Sean, great startup! You know how I know a great startup when I see one? When I immediately think "Holy crap, I should have started this!" :P You guys should really add custom WP theme support, but other than that, great going. Good luck!

I'm in the same boat as many others here. I am a bit of a control freak with my content so I prefer self-hosted Wordpress. If I your product can give me a wordpress theme at the end of it that I can self-install I would pay $20 for that.

Replying to this, but directed to the original authors: don't make it $20, it's too cheap for a product like this, make it $49 and plenty of people will still pay for it. I'm assuming you will be offering a WP template as the output (nobody's going to move to your blogging platform).

..then I would urge you to question why you've gone and built your own proprietary blog system and not just use WordPress - where this would be very very compelling.
