Don't see how that can be an argument, it's largely true.

My thought as well... but I just wanted to make sure no one thought I was trying to sneakily attack them.. and quite honestly, there's nothing wrong with doing that either. If it's accomplishing what you want, but happy that it's working.

Since I uploaded Wordpress on my blog, I've been using templates, but only because I've been too lazy to make my own design for it. I still have to learn how to make a template with Wordpress. Soon though I'll get off my lazy arse and do my own design, rather then mooching off someone else's. =P

Well.. if you look at my blog you'll see it looks pretty much exactly like the default one that comes with it. I've just tweaked it here and there. Course, it's more a support/secondary site to my main website.

During my period of unemployment, I thought about the reselling gig and then realized that I'd have to have like 300 paying clients to make enough to really live on and then I'd have to deal with those 300 people..... uhmmmm.. No!

Being employed now, I can see reselling enough to just cover my own internet and hosting costs.. but then I'd have to deal with those few people... uhmmm.. no. LOL.

Well, that was my plan too

There are so many pretty wordpress templates around, though :[

I used a template as my starting point for my blog and edited the hell out of it. Probably not the most ethical thing to do, but hey, I'm lazy.
