Switched over to Lightpress. Nice.
After a few hours of debugging, emailing back and forth (thanks alot for the help guys) and some "enouragement", I have finally switched over to LP.
What is Lightpress? Think of it as simply a lighter version of the WP front-end (as the name implies.) However, it doesn't skimp out on any of the features. It runs totally independent of works in conjunction with WP and uses the same data you have in your database. I like it because the code is cleaner, the queries run faster and the templating engine is easier to work with.
LightPress has been designed from the ground up as a full replacement for the WordPress front-end ...The only interaction with WordPress is through the database. This means that LightPress is fully compatible with WordPress 1.5, including the new 1.5.1 release.
I was going to convert my entire blog layout over to LP, but decided to use the default Kubrick clone, and simply modify it with my own header image(s). I like the new look. Its much simpler and easier on the eyes.
The developers behind LP were nice enough to help me convert alot of my sidebar items over to LP with little effort. I am pretty much happy with the current state of my blog, but I am looking forward to when they integrate the current WP admin changes to LP and also get the WP plugins to work with LP. But even if that never happens, I'd still be happy with it as it is. Light, fast and simple.
