Okay, so I finally got sick of using my own thing. Why? Pfft. It was unsupported, not-so-interoperable, and hacks and fun stuff didn’t work out-of-the-.tar.gz-archive for it. Well, okay. I’m lazy, that’s why. And WordPress is infinitely more fun to use, as well as being quicker, cooler, and nicer.
What’s not to like?
There are many things which are exactly the same about it, only done more intuitively, but there are also some completely new features. Like trackback/pingbacks. And post statuses (Draft or Private, anyone? I can work on a post, mark it as draft, and continue later. Or, if I don’t want the world to see a post, then I can mark it as private. Or just set a password on the post. Whatever!)
My only qualm is getting existing content to play nice with WordPress. At the minute, I don’t know if I will/can be bothered, but we shall see.

“Anyone’s home…” err it says “dalegroup.net back soon”
Why is that? I don’t like that site :’(
;)
You might want to fix the commenting thingy. I get a blank screen once I’ve posted.
*tries not to say anything about wordpress*
I still like the DESIGN of your other site better too ;)
I’m sick to death of the old design. The design over here is a work in progress, and hasn’t been referenced from the outside world yet, so it doesn’t really matter how much it apparently sucks, because no-one but myself is meant to see it :p
I’ll look into the commenting thing now.
WordPress really does make this a lot of fun, you know…
