Chris ...

Before ContentRobot launched our BlogOnCloud9 WordPress hosting service, we did a lot of planning in regards to pricing.

On the surface, we could be "just another host" that pushes a cheap plan with "unlimited" bandwidth and storage. But in reality, we were also are providing support for WordPress as part of our offering and feel we should and must charge appropriately for our many years of WP expertise. So we were not competing on a price point, but determining what our level of knowledge was worth along with scalable hosting platform.

We are in total agreement with you that we would rather not get scads of clients, but work with those who can appreciate what we offer.

As usual, great topic for discussion! Karen & Dana

Thanks for asking! ContentRobot

Hi, Berry ...

WordPress strips out any formatting such as tabs, double spaces between sentences, and double paragraph returns. These formats are leftover from the older print days, but they no longer necessary for readability online. To keep things streamlined, most online programs (including WP) is ignore the extra formatting.

Also, while its WYSIWYG is better, it sometimes doesn't display the post as it will be finally rendered. We recommend that you use the Preview button so you can see what it will look like before you publish.

Good luck! ContentRobot
