Thank you, Jetpack Stef

Stef, a Happiness Engineer with Jetpack, quickly responded to my support ticket. They have confirmed that my site is not commercial, and reclassified me as a personal site. This will allow me to continue viewing the Jetpack Stats without needing to pay for an upgraded commercial account. Thank you, Stef!

Normally, I don’t think it is fair to complain about “free” stuff. Jetpack does not force ads on my content, so, as far as I can tell, using their plug-in on WordPress for personal sites truly is free. I do, however, pay for a backup service they offer, so at least they get some money out of money.

Sadly, that backup plan is no longer available, and has been replaced by a more expensive offering which I would not be able to justify for a personal site like this. Still, better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it available.
