I like how DW goes about things, mostly. Good job. (The weekly news postings are a great idea. Even if I don't say anything about the personal news, it's nice to be included tangentially in your lives.)

But, I am not keen on photo hosting being done here. I think it's expensive for the host, hard to do well, replicates a wheel already rolling several elsewheres, and (at least on LJ and wordpress.com) it was a horrid interface or always breaking down.

When talking about features, focusing on the ones which will not have blisteringly high on-going expenses would be a better use of resources.
