Great point Paul - on the list we sometimes forget that online access needs

There is a third, ideal in my view, way of deploying Wordpress: it is
often included in the 'one click' installation options offered by
cheap hosting companies.
I know from experience that this works well - it's offers a little
more flexibility than wordpress.com without the technical overhead of
installing from source.
