Hi Robert,
I had not seen it before but it looks really easy (I'm all for that now).
I like the monthly option as well.
To be honest, I think I've only built one "proper" site in the last twelve months. Everything else has been Wordpress based. There are so many brilliant plug ins and they definitely get treated well by the search engines. I read recently that Wordpress sites are automatically indexed by Google and it certainly looks that way.
I've been playing with CSS3 and html5 but hand coding is driving me nuts.
I think Wynne's comment above sums it all up. The main thing is to get the phone to ring and make some money.
