Yes, thats right. I’ve finally got off my rear and and done something about it. You will notice this site is now powered by WordPress and in the process has also had a bit of a redesign to a more blue and cream look - away from that bright orange which at first I loved, but then became a distraction away from each article’s contents.
If you explore around the completed pages (particularly the about page) you will notice some new features on the site. I haven’t had the time to validate the site yet, but hopefully it passes the W3C XHTML and CSS compliance tests, which also means it _should_ render properly in all browsers. (With the exception of Internet Explorer which requires silly ‘workarounds’ to fix things).
The new site is far from complete. All of the old pages have to be added back and reworked in to the new design. I have to pretty much redo all of my gallery script so it will either intergrate with WordPress or will become a standalone application.
WordPress has the nitfy little feature I posted about a while ago. Blogging via email. Which means, using Multimedia Messaging services on my phone I can set it all up and will be able to blog via email using my phone. Just another way for me to annoy you I guess 
So far I’m loving every bit of WordPress. Don’t get me wrong, bBlog is great, but it just doesn’t have those final touches and the large community base that WordPress does. I will still be going out of my way to helping bBlog succeed and offering support for the plugins I have created for it, as it has the potential to be a really successful blogging application.
Right, well.. I guess I better get back to it.
Make sure you comment with any errors or issues that you’re having with the new site.
Regards,
Chris

Yay! I’ve been waiting for you to get done
I did find a small error, though. On http://www.surfionline.com/portfolio.php, you have a “Profile” and “Resume” link. I would think “Profile” is actually supposed to be “Portfolio” and both of your links should be too portfolio.php and not profile.php. I know the site isn’t done but I thought I’d mention it anyways

The new look is nice but could you not structure it in a way that doesn’t flash blue before rendering? kthx
