My site remains under active development, and there's a lot of work still to be done, but the skeleton of my blog/portfolio is live at:

Looking good theSeekerr! I could have sworn this must be running in WordPress, as you've managed to do a great job of getting the full blog feel here. Beautiful photos you are featuring there too. Thanks for posting it, keep up the good work.

Yeah, the blog page is very wordpress, but the feel of the site will change once I've finished my portfolio/gallery templates.

Right now the biggest issue is Related Pages - at the moment I'm populating them by hand, but that means manually updating old posts to add new related articles. At the very least, I need to devise a "linkback" system such adding an old page to the related article of a new page appends the new page to the related articles of the old page.

That will be easy to do. Lets say you've got a field called 'related_pages' that is a multi-page reference field. Here's what you might do on your 'article' template to display them:

// get pages that this one is identifying as related
$related = $page->related_pages; 

// get other pages that are identifying this one as related, and merge them
$related->import($pages->find("related_pages=$page"));

// output the related pages
echo $related->render();

Good to see another Australian. Nice work.

(I'm also working through how to create a blog just now)
