Sean, Excellent information! I didn't find that user list before I posted the question but I see now that there are quite a few commercial sites on Radiant. And I get a built-in blogging engine as well.
Now for my other question, is there any code for conducting on-line surveys available for Radiant? Would this be an extension or an add-on of some type? I'm still getting familiar with the Radiant terms and don't quite know where everything goes. Thanx!
