Re: @John Lilburne Well done Google....
Lotta sexism here, you know there are middle-aged ladies who are programmers, ex-programmers or just have a brain in general, and would have no trouble setting up+coding a personal website on a host? Why is this the example? "luddite" would be more appropriate.
Setting up a website really isn't rocket-science, and even beginner users can go further than Wordpress/Blogger.
