i even have reasonable understanding of stylesheets and wordpress gives me a fucking headache. i spent about 4 hours playing with wordpress, before i decided to toss her in the recycle bin, and even at that point i had very little worth looking at...
EDIT: babelogger also automatically generates your own rss feed, forgot to add that to my list of functions that i use...

Very interesting! Thanks for the summary. I use Wordpress (and populate the WP blogs with Autoblogger Pro Standalone) to do what you're talking about here. I don't find it particularly difficult, but I've invested some time in learning the Wordpress system. Definitely not for amateurs if they want to maximize what it can do. Maybe a system like this one is perfect for the smaller blogger and the blogger who doesn't want to sift through a "big boy" system until they've gotten their feet wet.
I mean, there are some people out there blogging who don't even know how to set up cron, so maximizing what WordPress can do is for SURE way over their head.
