Well it's totally the wierdest cms I've ever played with.

It's interesting, but it keeps doing unexpected things on me, I never have any idea what it is going to do when I hit publish.

The distinction it draws between website and blog still confuses me. And I've just barely begun to figure out it's widgets. Or how to edit it's appearance.

Or how to create a blogroll.

Earlier tonight I finally got it to publish roughly the way I wnated it, with blog entries posting to the root of the domain, but I feel certain thats a fluke, and teh next time I make an entry it will totally fuck up the root index again.

There doesn't seem to be all that much in the way of good advice available on how to work with it either. At least my searches are all finding old pages based on mt 3 and 4.

Still, like working on an antique engine, it's kinda satisfying. And if it can be used to create really stable blogs with low server load that could be worth the learning curve.
