@jasonkoebler sorry if this is a daft question, but does this affect hosted wordpress installs? I was tempted to ditch wordpress anyway to be fair, but feared migrating pains
@jasonkoebler @TheFunnyBrainGames nope those are two completely different entities

@bernardzijlstra @jasonkoebler Thank you, that is a relief to know. :)

I will carry on checking out alternatives at a sluggish pace - I still haven't found anything that comes close in terms of tools. :)
