Because dealing with the way Word Press is installed on HostGator fills me with dread. Especially when it comes loading pictures. It takes three minutes to load any picture and if you attempt to upload more than one at a time it will always hang. You have to manually regenerate thumbnails for every picture one at a time and that takes three minutes every picture. Then you can’t put images into directories (you just can’t; the say you can but it’s not installed properly and you can’t) so to pick the pictures you want you have to pick them from the media library from a dump of unload images. Meanwhile to switch from the editing post page to the media page and back takes 30 seconds to reload each page and then 30 seconds to go back to editing.
So this is enough to make the mere thought of typing a post a dreadful to be avoided ordeal.
