Here's the deal...

Last September we went to the Wordpress format for GP...

It was a move I had to make (long story, if you've been here you know why)...

But I'm not real happy with it. The Wordpress thing is pretty sensitive and my skills are not high level, so I'm afraid to mess with it.

The old site was HTML based, with the LiveJournal blog embedded. I like that very much. I was able to place graphical polls, a news ticker, ads and all kinds of cool stuff on there. The new format is too texty, I think.

My only problems with the old site:

- I couldn't IP ban through LJ
- Google couldn't crawl through the embedded LJ

Here's what I am looking for:

- a nice blog that can be embedded inside an HTML design
- allows Google indexing
- no "back door" for trolls, such as entering thru LJ

I thought I would ask this in here first before putting it out to the masses...

Any ideas?
