Weblog System Features Compared
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."
FIRST POST! KILL GEORGE BUSH!
Some of my clan mates came up with an awesome blogging service. check it out here at out clan's website. Just click on the number to get through. It's insanely awesome and well designed. If you have ever blogged, or are interested in it, you must see it. It will allow you to autoupdate your blog from a cell phone. It's insane.
you'll learn a lot, AND nobody can yank the carpet out from under you.
Making a weblog on software that's not GPL'ed is a little like being a sharecropper.
Especially when you are talking about FOSS software. Read here for some more reasons why licenses make a difference for authors and users alike.
MOD PARENT UP! I use the Kings Of Chaos Blogging software all the time. It's so much better than live journal
You forgot: "Imagine a beowolf cluster of weblogs"
For $299 it better be good. It better come with a free whore for that much money.
Mark Pilgrim's piece does an excellent job of explaining why he is a whinging little shit that needs to get a life.
*whine* entrepreneurial company creates software "light years ahead of its competition" and gives us shitloads of mad permissions to do shit with it that it has no obligation to do, but it didn't give it away for free *whine*
*whine* everything open source sucked so I was forced to use their crap *whine*
*whine* I can still use their crap for free but if I want their new improved "even more crap" I have to pay for it *whine*
*whine* WordPress rocks, even when its not being developed, MT sucks. WordPress is mad free. Despite this I'm going to bitch about the price of MT, clearly showing that I don't really want to use WordPress because if I really thought it was better for me I would just change and not have to whine about how much MT would cost me to upgrade *whine*
*whine* In the long run freesoft rocks, because within just a few years you will be able to choose any one of 70 crap imitations of a crap product none of which will do most of what you want, but you'll love it anyway because its not Microsoft and you're happy as long as noone is allowed to make something cool without giving you his fucking code. *whine*
*whine* And finally, No, your mother.
