 * Hi,
 * I’ve been noticing a lot bloggers are using wordpress these days. I just wanted
   to know what the benefit or appeal is to using wordpress. I’m fully capable of
   building my own blog from scratch, and wondered what wordpress might have, that
   I couldn’t do?
 * thanks 🙂

 * If you are fully capable of building your blog from scratch – then obviously –
   you won’t benefit from using WordPress.

 * [@root](https://wordpress.org/support/users/root/): Nonsense. Not only is it 
   not “obvious”, it’s not even necessarily true.

   least this time you got your fingers on the winkie, wee willy.
