I realized that I have thus far successfully overlooked an apropos shout-out to the folks who created and maintain Joomla!. Joomla! (their exclamation not mine) is the open-sources content management system that backs this website. I started using joomla just out of passing curiosity, but quickly grew to appreciate how it's basic functionality, by means of its basic content heirarchy of section->category->article, nicely fit what I wanted to accomplish with yeastfarts.com Essentially, I wanted to create a blog that looks and feels like more than a blog and Joomla handles this without effort (at least on my behalf).
Other highlights of the Joomla product are top notch documentation, highly active user community, and amazingly polished look and feel out of the box. I've used drupal at work and other semi-CMSs like wikis and blogs and none that I've encountered come close to joomla's slickness-by-default.
