You know... I want to build a second site about personal development but I would like to aim for a different magnitude of success which I think only a blog like Steve's, with comments, a forum and with tens of other bloggers commenting on my posts and using trackbacks could create.
I was wandering, what do you think of this discussion: "Why most (if not all) bloggers should switch to SBI", started by Ken, and then abandoned just as I was beginning to ask some pertinent questions?

My question was basically: when you integrate a Wordpress blog into your SBI site, SBI doesn't manage it for you. It doesn't do anything for it - you don't even get traffic stats. If 99% of bloggers fail, why would they automatically succeed using SBI?
There is a lot to know about how to promote a blog - learning about trackbacks, pings, managing comments, mysql, blog carnivals, and God knows what else. Those things do not become unnecessary when you integrate the blog into an SBI site, while most SBI tools do become useless because you can't use them for a 3rd party blog.
