hello again designer pals

i have redesigned my website. not just any redesign - i implemented wordpress as a CMS this time. it is very exciting. now, i can add and remove work from my portfolio much more easily. i am hosting all of my images at flickr, to increase traffic to both my flickr account and to my portfolio site. each portfolio piece is a wordpress "page" - which are as easy to manage as blog posts. and on that note, the site also includes a blog now. i don't plan on using it for true blogging, but for any major news updates and periodic photo displays. all of my content is managed dynamically through wordpress and it really wasn't that hard to put together. i think using wordpress as a CMS shows a certain amount of web dev credibility so that was my main motivation for using it, but it is truly way more convenient.

the visual design is not as bold as the site i currently have up, but i find it to be unobtrusive and a little moody in a good way. i have yet to feel the need to create a logo for myself so the header is very simple. i might swap out the background image randomly each time the page loads, but that will probably be too distracting. a better idea would be to change the background image once a month or so.

i'm looking for any kind of feedback - and please be as honest as possible. i'm trying to find a job in amsterdam which is what prompted this overhaul . . .

this is my current site: http://www.jessicamullen.com

this is the new wordpress site: http://www.jessicamullen.com/cms

compare and contrast? love or hate? thank you everyone.

I know some of you are fabulous bloggers.  Have any of you found blogging software that allows threads (ie instead of just comments to the original post, they can or I can respond to them directly)?  What about blogging software that automatically updates the blog, like for example, a mirror like if I post in livejournal for example, the post would also automatically be made in a seperate blog outside of livejournal.  Frankly, I wanted to use livejournal for my blog, but they don't allow non-members to comment except anonymously and I don't want my friends outside of livejournal to have to make anonymous comments. 

This is what I've got so far!

I'm not married to it.  If there is anything better, I wanna know!

*Customizable design, yet simple and straightforward
*Search, archives, blogroll, tags
*Media posting capabilities

I know it's a matter of personal preference, but I'd love to hear some opinions/experiences. Thanks!

My ZDNet blogging colleague Larry Dignan asks what Yahoo's Plan B will be, now that it reportedly is turning down Microsoft's $44 acquisition billion bid because it is too low. But I'm wondering about the flip-side of this equation: What is Microsoft's Plan B if it fails to snag Yahoo?...
