Well said. Why should Steve reconsider his recommendation just because of a bunch of negative nellies? The problem isn't that there's anything wrong with SBI, the problem is that the disgruntled people are usually the loudest, making it seem like it is the only reality. Why should I discard all the success stories, some of whom I know in person, because there are a few people who dislike a product? And yeah, try and find a product loved by 100% of its customers.
Personally, I have no interest in learning any html beyond the basic functions of it. And I have no interest in figuring out how to do search engine stuff and all that greek. And I have no interest in creating a pretty designed site. Steve's site is pretty basic as you can see. No frills, no decorations. And he seems to be doing quite well. If you think the design of your site is what will make you money, good luck.
I didn't discover SBI through Steve. But I'm glad he recommends it, because I truly wish I'd found SBI like 5 years ago, when I knew exactly what I wanted to do and couldn't figure out a way to communicate my idea effectively to a web developer.
You get out of anything you do what you put into it. But if you've found something better, good for you. It just means that is what works
for you.
And to the OP, if you're dissing SBI and saying wordpress is better, and the evidence you have is your site in your signature, you've got to be kidding me. It definitely does not entice me to want to use wordpress.
All power to Steve and SBI. I'm about to start my second site and I know nothing about website building. I just know what I want to write about. Who would have thought it?
