I have written several blogs now, I started on blogger and did not like their approach, I tried several others and did not find what I wanted. Along came Wordpress 2.3, I have been a fan ever since. Very usable, and easily customized, hundreds of different templates and things to add into your blog. Security can be done as there are some security conscious folks that have now developed some very nice widgets to help in the security aspect. Easy to install, upgrade and change as needed. Excellent product, and yes it proves you can get something for 0 cost...except time.
Wordpress is well supported and well established. The popularity for the project is extremely high, which is great for finding plugins and addons, and getting support for just about anything you can dream up. However, a mediocre API encourages too much randomness in plugins allowing for security and major performance issues with many plugins. Even many popular plugins have major performance implications. A caching system is a must with a Wordpress system, staying up to date is also crucial as there are numerous security vulnerabilities appearing often.

Our family switched to WordPress in the middle 2000's. Even then it made producing websites easier. Additionally it's able to be customized. It looks good, and my daughter and oldest son swear by it. Millions of people and organizations swear by it as well. The fact that it is open software is the best. That way, everyone can have their own website and/or blog, with anything on they want - total free speech and total free access; that's real freedom of speech, a commodity that seems to be getting in short supply around our little planet.
