I participated in Ed Dale's 30-day challenge and installed WordPress Direct on my WordPress.org c-Panel. I did not upgrade after the challenge and I'm not sure if I want to continue using WordPress Direct.

If you have any experience with WordPress Direct, what are the advantages over WordPress.org other than having SEO automatically plugged-in for you? Would it be to my advantage to uninstall WordPress Direct for more flexibility? Would the "uninstall" cause me any problems or is there anything I need to be aware of that could go wrong?

I have one blog post on that blog. Would I lose it?

Your assistance with this issue will be greatly appreciated.
