Took quite a long break to help Flatterline get going, but I want to write again :) @Chuck Thanks, man! Wordpress has come a long way since I used it. I tried to install the Hobo Web plugin, but it gave me an error on activation... @Ben right now I'm only planning to use categories. I want to limit myself to some specific things I'll write about. If it doesn't fit into one of the specific categories, then it goes into <a href="http://millarian.com/category/random" rel="nofollow">Random</a> category. @Steven and @Ben thanks for the encouragement to blog again.

@Ben right now I’m only planning to use categories. I want to limit myself to some specific things I’ll write about. If it doesn’t fit into one of the specific categories, then it goes into Random category.

When I started using it, I used the Dreamhost one-click install. Since then, it's been moved to MediaTemple, Linode, and finally Slicehost. It works, and it's free. Still, I think it would be fun to write a blog engine of my own, and use that. And I don't think I'd be missing a whole lot of I did that. BTW, where's your tag cloud? :) Do you plan to use both tags and categories? I'm only using tags, but the hierarchical categories are kinda neat. Whatever gets you blogging more. :)

Wordpress is awesome (obviously I use it a lot lol) but glad to see you back over to WP. Look at Hobo Web's fork of Link Love plugin... he's tweaking it out a bit and I'm already using it for me and a few client blogs: http://www.hobo-web.co.uk/seo-blog/index.php/hobo-custom-link-love-for-wordpress/ Hey man great!

I remember when I was an active Plone developer (that was _all_ I did at the time), I felt like a cheater moving my blog to WordPress, but it was simply the best option for a blog platform at the time (and I feel it still is, although there are some good competitors). Use the best tool for the job is what I say. Looking forward to your future posts as usual :) Nothing to be ashamed of.
