Just a couple of things. 1. The ?5,000 figure for someone getting for an Oh My News story was from donations from readers and was for one of their stories, not per month. I got was from watching BBC4's The Desk show which mentioned that. And of course, everything on TV has got to be true :) 2. The ease of setting up Wordpress. You don't really need to know too much about Unix. If you have a web hosting account and it has CPanel installed, then it is likely your hosting provider also offers Fantastico, which has about 30 or so different open source applications which with a tick of a box will automatically be installed. Granted that Blogger, Typepad are much easier, but even Wordpress is not that hard if you do it via Fantastico and CPanel. cheers Leslie Hi David

Good coverage. Just a couple of things.
