Upgrading now. Thanks for all the great input though. I am always willing to try something new…perhaps 1.2 will change my mind since I was using 1.0.1 for my initial testing. Upgrading now.

Though WordPress may be ready for a lot of people I hope with time it will be ready for you, and others, as well. In time, Stacy, the documentation will grow and get consolidated.

If I don't speak the language, doing endless searches in the forums becomes a huge timesink, and as I said, no time for love, Dr. Jones.

People who have worked strictly in the weblog realm don't seem as enthusiatic about WP.

For those of us who are NOT developers, we need a package that flies, right out of the box, not one who's bells and whistles must be hacked into place. I just don't have time to learn PHP right now. :wink: It is, of course, my opinion, and primarily based, as I explained, on the needs/quirks of my clients.

Jay has the scoop and some examples of just how spiffy free can be.

Course, not one to keep quiet, I have a few examples of my own of spiffy design without duplicating Jay’s list.

Now with all that inspiration, I need to get to work here.
