Well, after much research and frustration I have decided to stay with wordpress. It seems that there really isn’t anything any better out there. I will be attempting to re-post my previous 16 blogs dating back to May of last year (2008). So if anyone out there has any good tutorials on how to style the themes, please let me know. I am fluent with CSS on an intermediate level, but I am not really getting where to make the tweaks.
In re-installing wordpress I ended up with the newest version, 2.7. I like the interface better than 2.6 and hope it will be a little more intuitive.
So just a few short words to explain all the confusion here lately and if things are messed up for awhile, you will know why. Anyone out there that has any helpful input, please comment or email. I am open to suggestions.
