        <description><![CDATA[Of an individual admin that have nothing whatsoever to do with WordPress. Stock WordPress does none of the things you outlined... The amount of scripting is up to you: By definition, since it is written in PHP (which is a &quot;script-language&quot;) it woudl be &quot;script-heavy,&quot; but you're under no obligation to use plug-ins that call other sites resources, and under no obligation to run ads on your site.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I agree with you. Because WordPress Websites have many advantages like:Open Source SoftwareWordPress is an Open Source software which allows it to be used free of cost. You can use it on any kind of personal or commercial website without have to pay a single dime for it. It is built on PHP/MySQL (which is again Open Source) and licensed under GPL.User FriendlyYou dont really have to be experienced to use WordPress on your website. Nowadays most of the hosting companies provide the ability to install WordPress on your site at a single click of the mouse. The administration section is easy to navigate and its even easy to add articles/content to your website.Themes SupportYou will never run short of templates when using WordPress. If you dont like the themes that come with the default installation of WordPress, you can hunt on the Internet and you will find thousands of free themes that you can download and use for your website. There are themes which can even make your website look like a regular site instead of a blog.Plugins Extend FunctionalityWordPress plugins allow you to do just about anything that you want and can be installed in a jiffy. For example, you want to paginate your blog posts, just look on Google and you can easily find the relevant plugin that will easily do the job for you.Standards CompliantWordPress is one software that follows all the Web Standards and keeps your blog or website compliant to all the rules that have to be followed when running a website.SEO FriendlySearch Engines have to be definitely kept in mind when building a website. WordPress uses different functions which allow it to be search engine friendly. For example sending pings to other sites, making categories, tagging your posts, use of h1/h2 tags etc.Large community SupportAs per recent statistics, WordPress is used on more than 1% of the websites on the Internet in the world. There is a large user community backing the development of this software. So, whenever you face any problems, you can go through all the available WordPress forums and communities and find answers for all your questions.]]></description>

I've even seen a few sites that won't display the main page code until AFTER it's pumped all the ads onto the site, so blocking them stops the site from loading at all.The results from the above is that I don't do business there and they go on my bad site list that I tell people not to bother with.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[WordPress based site I've been too is very script heavy and calls third party scripts from all over the Internet, many of which are related to data mining for targeted ads and delivering ads. Quickest way to get me to avoid your website and tell people it's crap is to have one that takes a lot of time to load due to excessive scripts and then have those scripts pushing ads at me.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is a column for the SMB which stands (if you're not aware) for &quot;small and medium business.&quot; WordPress would be a bad choice for an enterprise, mainly because you can afford the excellent commercial CMS tools that are out there that put WP to shame.But for an SMB? WordPress is a god-send, inexpensive, easy to use means of publishing web-content without spending tens of thousands (or more) on a license for the CMS (before you've even spent a nickel building the site.)]]></description>
