ReplyDeleteAnd the Wordpress situation is becoming like MySpace-way to much crap that screws up the pages, makes finding the archive like looking for buried treasure in Egypt, etc. I'm all but decided to stop reading anything posted with them and that would suck...some of my favorite blogs use that mess :(

ReplyDeleteI would suggest a self-hosted wordpress-powered website. I did this about 6 months ago and have really happy.
ReplyDeleteYes, creating a Wordpress based theme is the backbone of the new White Haired Man website. We love being able to write and showcase articles that relate to our experiences with the gaming industry and creation of our products.
