Luckily updating WP is a lot easier than EE. In fact when approving your comment just now I got a message in the admin area that a new WP version was out. And voilá, with the click of a button:

Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.9.1.zip.

Unpacking the update.

Verifying the unpacked files

Installing the latest version

Upgrading database

WordPress upgraded successfully

Nice :)

Example you dont have as many books on EE as on wordpress, i love EE and is my platform when doing php cms kind of work.

Elis Lab has promote their templating system as an easy solution so that designers know and can be exited about.

I am with you on this one.

By the way cool site this one of yours.
