A few weeks ago I finally decided to stop putting so much effort into deciding between Python/Django and Ruby/Rails, and to just pick one. So with a flip of a coin, I picked Python+Django and haven't looked back.
This entire site (blog included) was written in a matter of day (in my spare time, even!) using Django. It's ridiculously fun stuff! Django makes writing websites super simple and clean, much nicer than PHP ever was. If I can help it, I won't be touching PHP ever again, in favor of Django+Python!
The blog was what took the most work. The rest of the site took a half day total, but the blog took about a week to write in my spare time. One thing I'm really proud of is the automagic pagination of any list of entries (whether index, tag, year, month, or day). Also I had to can the standard comments framework for my own simpler one, which is just as safe from spam, if not safer, if you ask me.
I'll probably transfer a few of my old blog posts over to this new one, maybe. But not all of them. And none of the old permalinks will work. (Sorry other websites!)
And yes I kind of ripped the design off from a Wordpress theme I liked, so sue me. (Please don't really sue me.)
