Hi Simon,
i understand.
i'd like to that as well.
i'm about 2 mths into wordpress, and have been focusing on content creation all this time.
i guess surfing around the more technically inclined blog users would be good.
I'd eventually want to learn how to set up radio blog club on my blog as my friend has done here.

he mentioned he had to go through programming hell to get it set up right.
i'm not that familiar with PHP yet, and that's another thing i have to look into.
