I now think I made the right choice about choosing WordPress over writing my own script, the amount of features that you get with WordPress it phenomenal the best thing I think is uploading pictures to WordPress where you can then drag and drop the picture into the text (thank god for AJAX)
And also the plugins, I have installed about 10 plugins now not all of them are enabled but there is a huge range of them allowing you to do so much more.
So anyone considering Blogging get WordPress!
I would love to hear your thoughts on WordPress or any other Blogging scripts out their.
