Now that I've had a chance to administer it for another site with way more activity than this, I give it my seal of approval. And like all things Open Source, if I don't like it then I can change it. So I will be integrating the whole site into a Drupal site over the next month or so. My goal is to launch the new site by the calendar year start. So my blog will eventually have categories, be integrated into my kb (KISS - one place to enter things!), have my wishlist attached, and have links to my online galleries. I've recently discovered that Google's Picasa has a Linux client so I can stop hosting my own photos.
Things are getting better all the time!
