After months of kvetching, Helen finally defected from Spaces as her blog platform.  Can't say I blame her; she really tried to make Spaces work for her, but I'm afraid the stability just hasn't been there from a blog management standpoint.  I expect the Spaces folks will get things ironed out in time, but meanwhile you'll have to go to Wordpress to read about the seedy underbelly of my family life.  :)
