So I converted to WordPress.
I wrote a conversion script to ease the pain of converting all my data from Serendipity, no images survived though – I could hack it, but I can’t really be arsed.
Why WordPress? Well, it does the job and it has a nice administration and authoring system. Codewise I’m not at all happy with the abuse of extract(), but I can learn to live with it.
Why not Serendipity? Well, to be honest, I like how wordpress feels, it feels like a complete product and it’s still in very active development. I have nothing against Serendipity, but I’m confident WordPress is the right tool for the job I need done at this time.

Hey Tom!
Got a question for you. I’m trying to decide which suite to go with for a travel blog, and the two contenders are WordPress and Serendipity. BOTH suites offer great features, but I’m not sure which one would offer the most flexibility in offering diverse media content. I’m going to integrate the “Gallery” app to handle the photos, but the audio blogs are another question. I’m not sure which suite would be better to go with this as far as integration of external code to handle them in the sidebar.
Any advice you can offer would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hello!!
Weren’t you one of the s9y original developers?… I think I remember this was the first s9y site I checked out while I was searching for Blog software. I also think by that time you were porting Kubrick into s9y.
I’m sorry you gave up on it… I really think Serendipity is a great piece of software with much more potential.
