It's good to know that Brilliant can solve my Wordpress issues
It's good to know that Brilliant Directories is still chugging along, fixing bugs, and adding new features. BD is so rich with features and options, so it would take time to customize (but that's not a bad thing). This is better than Wordpress and using membership and other plugins to do what BD can. So overall, using BD is saving me a lot of time and headache.
