I find that one advantage Wordpress has over other CMS is that it is attracting good designers into premium theme building, and I'm quite happy to modify quality themes rather than have to go through the full design process for each new site. Most of my time is now taken in training clients to use the wordpress dashboard though...

Thank you for the other comments! Gareth Thanks James, I think you made a good move from the flash site to the blog, even if you think of it in terms of the fact that people can now interact with your site and make comments.

I too am a designer, and I too recently moved from a flash based portfolio (that no one ever visited), to a blog with a portfolio, that while not heavily trafficked, still receives over 10 times the amount of hits I used to receive. Best of luck to you with your blogging and design work.

I'll have to check out Toucan CMS sounds interesting. To be honest I'm not very code minded when it comes to the back end side of things, I get help with this side otherwise things go wrong very quickly for me! Everyone has their strengths, it just looks like another language to me, and as someone reminded in the other day, it is another language! admins last blog post..<a href="http://www.dot-design.co.uk/new-penguin-james-bond-book-cover-designs/" rel="nofollow">New Penguin James Bond book cover designs</a> Richard, thanks for your input, appreciated.

Our content management system, Toucan CMS, is good in that respect - it allows 'skins' to be separate (as far as possible) from the logic which inserts the content in to the page. For example, inserting the page title is just a matter of inserting {pagetitle} into the page. Mind you, I would say that. :D I did use to love WordPress, though - the backend was beautifully simple and easy to use, but the thought of skinning it again puts shivers down my spine!

Once I realised how easy to update and successful the blog was in terms of site traffic, I re-designed the site to pare down the rest of the content so the bulk of the site content was on the blog. I see many business websites doing this also and for a brochure website that doesn't need reach features offered by Drupal, Wordpress (which is what I use also) is excellent.
