On the cusp of word pressage.
Two evenings and a few too many hours in the daytime later, wordpress is setup skeleton-style and I have a pile of themes to sift through.
I’ve traditionally shied away from any website effort involving other peoples engines or templates: my first series of websites were hand coded in php / html / css, used my own blog engine and eventually became themable when I realised that would temporarily sate my thirst for a new look to the site without the need to scrap an old design and start again.
However, practicality calls, I’m currently indisposed to wheel-reinvention, and with the plethora of themes, wordpress is looking to meet the needs of my new site nicely. A big element here is practicality – now I’m no longer particularly interested in getting my hands covered in HTML: I can have a nice clean site up, not have to run through testing and tweaking, and generally forget about everything that distracts from what I’d like to think about, in corporate drone-speak, the core business 
The core business is a whole other box of fun, which I’ll be getting to shortly.
