wafblog v3.0

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.
