Looks nice Bruce. During my perusal, I didn't see any distinct
oddities so I can't comment on that. I can, however, comment on the
software you chose.
I run a few weblog sites (most popular one is
<http://www.debianhelp.org>) and have quite a bit of experience with the
various weblogs out there. I ran PHP-Nuke for quite a while. I'd
recommend avoiding it like the plague.
PHP-Nuke has some author "oddities" -- such as a one-man development
team, an author who has mindlessly threatened to take PHP-Nuke (which was
developed under the GPL originally from ThatWare) into a non-free status
because people were complaining about the software. But worse, PHP-Nuke
has a number of security problems and the author is dirt-slow about
responding to them (for example, the 5.2 version you're running most
likely has security holes in it -- there was a recent bugtraq notice about
it).
I'd strongly recommend PostNuke <http://www.postnuke.com> as a better
GPL weblog. PostNuke has a large, active open source development team and
presently has a lot of momentum behind it. It's faster, more robust and
bug-free than PHP-Nuke, and fixes of all kinds come lightning fast. Best
of all, you'll be able to upgrade your PHP-Nuke in about 15 minutes to
PostNuke.
FWIW...
