So it looks like we might try a compromise. We're now thinking about keeping dirty diaper diaries where it is, at www.dirtydiaperdiaries.com, and linking heavily from it to http://diaries.ning.com, so vlog visitors can post their own videos and discussion threads. Neither of us were satisfied with Ning's blog functionalities - they don't allow categories, for one thing. So hopefully this will work; I'll start embedding relevant links in both sites and adjust the CSS so they're seamless, and we'll see how it goes...
