Weblog System Features Compared

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the immovable-weblog-object dept.

prostoalex writes "The question of the best weblogging system out there arises quite often, especially after the new licensing scheme introduced by MovableType. Here's a rather detailed breakdown of currently popular blogging and content management systems. Out of 11 software packages, 10 run on any server with variations of Perl/PHP and MySQL/PostgresSQL, and one requires Windows and .NET Framework. 4 are licensed under GPL, 3 are under BSD. Mark Pilgrim explains why licensing is suddenly important."

    I was about to do some research on this subject, but apparently it's been done for me. I feel like the kid in class who put off his homework long enough for the teacher to give away all the answers. :)

    You have to click the blogging link after pressing the button you n00b! Learn how to use a web browser before posting this garbage.

    They aren't missing it. Scroll all the way to the right of the window and WordPress is the last on the list.

    I agree with you, WordPress is by far the easiest, most expandable, and best blogging software out there. I absolutely love it.

    Holy carp! I used to have that on a 45 RPM when I was a kid! I didn't know anyone else had ever heard of it.

    The link in the parent post redirects to the infamous goatse.cx image. Fortunately I managed to read the end of the url before clicking.

      In fact, the link is : http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-fr eedom.html?op=redirect&url=http://goat.cx/ It can't link to goatse.cx since it ends by http://goat.cx/ (no se). Mozilla go directly to the FSF page and don't care for the extra bit. The link is stupid but not harmful but I support the motion to mod down.
