I'm still thinking it over because I kind of like possessing the control over everything. The control comes at a cost though, and I've never truly found time to devote to all the things I'd like to add, and instead, I have had to endure with a system in a transitional and unstable state for as long as I can remember. Perhaps the only reason I continue to balk at using such systems is because using my own code allows me to pretend I actually know something about computers. It might be time to take the plunge.

The only feature I can think of that was all that hot was the "related entries," and there's a WordPress plugin to do that already. I have it installed, and if you look at an entry page, some entries show "related entries" after the entry. It does need some tweaking, though (currently I believe it's only doing similarity based on entry <em>title</em>). What other old linkstew features are you thinking of?

Does that make any sense? Now that there are more options, i'm more motivated to code my own. Maybe just because the amount of frustration at not getting what i want out of the many different CMS that are out now is much more frustrating then not getting what i want just from Blogger, Greymatter, and LJ back in the day. Anyhow, I hope this switch means you're happy and will be posting more often, but I hope you don't trash the old system entirely - i always thought it was pretty damn nifty for something that was homegrown.
