This may very well end up being my last Blogger based post as I'm slowly adopting (self-hosted) WordPress as a publishing platform. I have a set of websites running on a commodity cPanel-based shared host, with a view to moving to a dedicated VM in due course. While setting things up and playing about with WordPress, I kept tripping over an obstacle that just kept getting in the way of doing what I wanted to do.
MySQL was that obstacle.
Dear WordPress, please have an option to use a file-based database (such as SQLite) instead.
