Portfolio Stagnancy

So I am still working on my portfolio website and I have come across some issues and I am not sure where to go from here. I have three options:

1. Work out a way to fix the problem
2. Change what I want to do
3. Change how I do what I want

The issue I am having is that I seem not to be able to do as much juggling of data as I think I need to. I would like to find out I don't need to do it this much or find a way to do things so it is not required at all. I need someone who really knows how to use the Google Mashups Editor because the help provided is not good enough.

Also I am starting to think that some external options seem good. I have been looking at a few other CMS's and a lot of them are quite nice. Of course I would have to turn in that AJAX web feel but it there may be some serious advantages. One in particular is Google search friendliness which my current data model is not great on.

I have also been looking at using Google Base as my back end storage system because it is so ingrained into Google's results. We will see if that works how I expect it may not.
