I was curious what youve been up to, which led me here.<br /><br />I just saw your posting regarding word-press. I'd like to attempt to payback some of my debt. You struck me as a sophisticated and pragmatic programmer -- not the typical hack you often find on the net. <br /><br /> <br />Before you get married to Wordpress, check out www.drupal.org<br /><br />it has awesome blogging capabilities (including API for 3rd party clients, such as blogger), but it is SO much more flexible than simple blogging projects such as wordpress. It is an open source CMS. the best I've used, in fact. Though xoops is pretty good too -- thogh the architecture just didnt seem quite as mature. Drupal has a lot of features "out of the box... " for blogging -- and plenty of add-ons that are simple to install (and elegant to maintain). Simply, it is by far the most sophisticated open source php project I've encountered. (in terms of it's architecture & API).<br /><br />It's a simple install if you've any familiarity with php & mysql... (and decent documentation if you're not).<br /><br />It is a little complex, but not in the initial setup. In fact it's easy to overlook much of the complexity becuase it is mature and very user friendly... which should aid in learning its depth.<br /><br />best of luck whatever you decide! Lewis-

I've pretty much used blogger to its full capabilities. I feel its limitations constantly. I need to grow - not in data, but functionality. There are quite a few reasons why I am leaving blogger.
