i haven't touched mysql in years but quite frankly, 99% of websites out there (blog/cms) will run fairly fine on a Mysql database. as for the other 1%, they would be big enough to pick the right db of their choice as the time comes. so there is no need to tell everyone you should be using this or that.

this is kind of like telling everyone that they should ALL be using emacs, when vim/nano is still sufficient for the job.

I honestly don't see a single reason why MySQL should be used over PostgreSQL for anything, thus my sweeping statement. I could be wrong but I don't think so.
