Commercial CMS (content management system) software can compete for larger companies and/or those who require things like complex shopping carts/large catalogs, but for blogging/simple website purposes, they can't. Let me know if you need help, I know the learning curve can be steep.

I'm curious to know if you have also tried other blogging softeware? I also wonder if the open source aspect was a big factor in your decision to go with WordPress or was it the very reasonable price (or all of the above)? Commercial software suppliers must wonder how to differentiate themselves. Are there things you don't like about WordPress? I'm on the steep slope of a learnig curve and your thoughts would be helpful. Thanks for the post. Mary – This is a very useful summary of your favorite things about WordPress blogging software.
