> as a blogger you should probably always own or create your own tools.

That's all fine and dandy if you're a developer (or have some developer skills). But my mate who wants to blog about wood working isn't a developer and has no interest in building his own blogging tools.

I'm a developer and even I don't want to build and maintain my own blogging tools, I just want to write about the stuff I find interesting (most of which isn't necessarily development related).

Agreed. I tried to convey that by saying "own or create" because I feel like Wordpress always "owned" me (not the other way around) and I couldn't stand being forced to use it in a certain way.
