In 2010 I converted about 6 websites from Xara to WordPress. It was interesting and the blog features were useful. Then WordPress began with their security updates. I used a skinning product as well. That company began to falter. Updates seemed endless with more than one of them breaking the sites. Forum checking confirmed it was the WordPress/plugin companies as the source of breakage. Then, sadly, one of my clients died. He was a writer and there was 4 years of blogs and comments. No easy way to harvest that data.

Subsequently, I have moved all sites back to Xara and cobbled together a blogging feature. I found WP too demanding and unreliable. Too many other companies with control over the content and look. That was my experience.
