One point in favour of WordPress is that it allows you to choose an action for you external links, ie whether to open the link in a new window. Interesting. Will post about it soon; I realise I've commented on nearly everyone else's blog and just about forgotten about my own! Hi Tony and Kim

Guess you thought JW for Jane W? JWA for me = phonetics for the French word joie = joy. Not sure that it will always be a journey of joy, but starting off optimistically! Have now put a link on the wiki to my Flickr account,next to the 'official' ones, so others can look @ my slide show now. Thanks bec…. you’re actually chatting with mary aka JWA.

I actually think the reason blogger is scorned has more to do with the reasons MySpace is scorned than the fact that it is owned by Google, though: It is inherently personalisable, and it is the province of those without enough tech knowledge to "do it properly" (i.e. by hand).
