Curzon, WordPress can be beautiful, as shown by Coming Anarchy. Indeed, I'd love to have a Sioux Falls-themed WP blog similar to what Younghusband did for Coming Anarchy. Bu I already have more on my plate than I can take – I still have to update the Jim River Report [1], which just requires a few minutes with a text editor and ssh.

Plus, blogspirit uses smarty templates [2], which WP doesn't.

Chirol, believe this is the end of operations at your peril… ;-)
