We outsource it. I know how to administer it myself, but damn I don't want to ever administer WordPress myself any more. (Except on my personal blogs, but I'm a control addict there.)

If at all possible, use wordpress.com. Pay some $$ for the redirection.

Other outsourcers: Pagely. They're not terrible - they are middling in competence, we have occasionally had to tell them precisely how to do some simple thing - but basically we don't have to interact much, and that's THE DESIRED OUTCOME.

WordPress is a commodity these days, treat it like one.

(The reason to use WordPress: it is the best blogging platform these days, and is really good as a simple-semistatic-site platform, and it is commoditised with third-party developers and hosters growing on trees. In almost no cases are you actually going to have a legitimate need to reimplement blogging yourself.)

I can't agree more, manually managing wordpress security, updates, etc. is a pain. Keep your site simple and wordpress.com can work great.
