I have to say that I am very happy with dasBlog's technology. It has been relatively easy to deploy blogs sites. My only gripe is a combination of the lacking dasBlog themes and my own artistic inability to create my own theme. Then, I discovered that numerous designers make their designs freely available. One is simply required to credit the artist accordingly. It took me only an hour or so to theme my personal site at www.xavierpacheco.com. To find free themes, simply Google "Free CSS Templates".
Have fun!
