Still, that’s a lot of ifs. So I’m going to look more into ModX, and I’m going to keep trying to activate my account with the WordPress people, if only out of morbid curiosity as to whether anything ever happens. If nothing does—and it becomes like ten or more attempts—I’m going to contact Brad Hill, the author of Bloggng for Dummies, and let him in on my experience. PeachTree is also coming out with its own beginning WP book, and I’ll contact them. There’s also a big development book that will be released this summer, and I’ll contact those guys, too. Lastly I have a friend who’s got some kind of site up that’s for throwing together a biting book about getting action from out-to-lunch companies, organizations like airlines & ISPs, etc. He would probably love to hear more about this head honcho you speak of so endearingly.

We could make him the poster boy for the out-to-lunch side of the Info Age.

If things with WP are as bad as you say, then there really should be an alternative site where a person can get an account where he or she can mess around with a practice blog until they get good and have their own style, just as it would be nice to have a plugins section and helpful articles.

One thing’s sure: If I want paid Web designer consultant guys, it’ll be Kickass.
