I figure it is much much better to just use a great third party application like Wordpress to blog, rather than trying to come up with our own blogging system. So here it is, I'm now using Wordpress (on a different domain) to write blogs for the Kiranatama site. By the way, the two blog previews on the Kiranatama's home page are retrieved from the Wordpress database, by creating a WpPost model in the rails app. This new site just needs to be skinned. We'll get to that later, for now, at least I have a much better blogging experience :)
