I’m contemplating changing blogging software. That’s right. After touting bBlog as being awesome and blah blah, tweaking little things and trying to make it all nice and blah… I’ve decided that I want something different. bBlog is nice, and it’s easy to use, it’s simple and all that. But, the comment spam is driving me up the wall. I like the idea of having tags rather than sections and I want an easy way to manage images in my posts rather than to have to remember what number I’ve uploaded.
So, the choices? Well, I’m not sure really. I found this rather useful breakdown of the different blogging software available. I know WordPress and drupal are some of the more popular ones. And drupal isn’t even covered by this thing.
Also currently looking at BLOG:CMS and Movable Type (but that costs money and is owned by Six Apart and that’s scary) and Nucleus CMS. I like that BLOG:CMS comes with an integrated photo gallery, because that saves me trying to find a photo gallery CMS thingy myself. Too much choice dammit ):
Have also found Serendipity which also uses Smarty Tags for formatting. This seems like a good thing, as bBlog also uses Smarty tags, and could prove easier for me to migrate. Hum.
