I was only using Wordpress as an example, of course. :)

The point was that it would be easier to use a hosted server with a website
'backend' like WP (or bashblog, or many others), than to build a webserver and
website from scratch. 

This is a big part of why my Pi-hosted website is only one rather simple
landing page. Installing a proper LAMP stack and actually building a website
is not really a priority for me.
