I am defiantly not trying to say we should not do this, but we need to
be sure that using hosted wordpress is not going to limit its
usefulness. 

Along the lines of pricing it may be a smarter idea to just pay $99 a

	Custom Domains
	Custom Design
	Premium Themes
	VideoPress
	Extra Storage
	Ad-Free
	Guided Transfer
	Offsite Redirect
