Wordpress Envy

I really like Drupal but lately I've seen some really cool looking Wordpress blogs that are using some really cool plug-ins and widgets. Every time I run across a widget or plug-in for Wordpress that Drupal doesn't offer I become increasingly envious.
When I started my new blog I installed Drupal as usual. But after about a week my Wordpress envy got the better of me so I uninstalled Drupal and installed Wordpress instead. Even though had I used Wordpress for my blogs a year ago (before I switched to Drupal) it is like a whole new learning experience for me. There is good and bad to the learning experience. It is good because I enjoy learning new things but it is bad because sometimes I just want to do what I want to do without spending a lot of time figuring out how to do it. blah. I really hate editing CSS files and templates and I never have to do that with Drupal. Hopefully the switch to Wordpress will be worth it.
A few of the reasons I'm switching back to Wordpress are the new array of plug-ins and widgets and also because I'm lousy when it comes to CSS and/or graphics and Wordpress has thousands of pre-made Wordpress themes to choose from. There are 101 pages at the WP Theme Viewer site and I'm only on page 14. I have a long way to go.

I have wordpress Installed, and I really like it. It didn't take me very long to get used to (and I am fairly new to blogging)

I still think you should put a blog on your PR6 subdomain. It seems like such a shame to let that go to waste.
WordPress just rocks. If you
WordPress just rocks. If you ever need a plugin and can't find one, just ask; I'm messing around with writing plugins right now, and I'm just looking for an excuse to write one
Owen, that's cool, thanks...
I'm only just now getting back into Wordpress after being away from it for a year... there is a plugin that lets you put MyBlogLog avatars into the WP comments section that I can't get to work yet... I'll look you up when I get the ambition to try to get that plugin working... (I've put it on the back burner)
