Since this is a Geek Ramblings blog, you might enjoy my <a href="http://www.komar.org/halloween">halloween decorations</a> and be sure to check out the <a href="http://www.komar.org/cgi-bin/halloween_webcam">halloween webcam</a> which is quite the hoot.

Whatever hacks you've put into your current site could probably be rewritten as WP plugins, which would make future upgrades pretty-much painless. Also, the new Theme system that's going into WP version 1.3 will protect your customized layout templates when upgrading. Hasan, you really should look into upgrading your site from b2 to WordPress.
