Blog Software Smackdown

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the what-happened-to-notepad-and-mountain-dew dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With published numbers saying there are approximately 70,000 new blogs being created each day, and the total number of blogs doubling every 5 months, it's no wonder that everyone and their dog is wondering whether to setup their own blog for a chance at fame, or perhaps a book publishing deal. The question then becomes: What software should you use? SitePoint has just published The Blog Software Smackdown which takes a look at Movable Type, WordPress, and Textpattern. Pick one, and take your stab at fame or notoriety."

    Nobody knows if you're a blog.

    Is there any software with functionality to make the average blog worth reading?

    Are there any meaningful sites out there that run slashcode?

    My friend tried again today to get me and help him reload Windows XP on his Taiwanese stamped steel dust bucket , AS IF !! We're going to the mall today to try out something, something big! But you'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out what I am talking about.

    I had a big poop today that really hurt. It must have been from eating that 1/4 pound of Grape Nut Vindaloo. It was like launching a rocket, like an old Saturn IV, huge, and firey.

    I promised yesterday I had some news for you today. I think my iPod looks best on my new Bill Blass belt. I tried the left side and right side, and while each is bold and different, I think left side, mounted sideways is the look I want! I tried it out for about 1/2 an hour yesterday just walking around the mall and got a lot of looks.

    Or are you just some crusty Internet has-been, one of those brave souls from the early 90's who now sits around bitching about 'How it was back in the day', never leaving your dank and dark basement dwelling to see the sun?

    This post reminds me of the good old days when we just got this interthingy. No one had heard of Al Gore yet. We just typed away on our 9600's , which were much better than the old 2400's, by the way. We only had text on a monochrome and we liked it! "Mark-up" wasn't invented yet and when it was, no one knew how to use it. Still don't, I suppose. Anyway, there are too many young people pecking away at keyboards like chickens in a barnyard and giving just about as much information. Speaking of chickens, what are all these cowards? Cowards were yellow backed idiots who wouldn't fight for themselves or anything else. When called out, they'd just disappear. We never knew when they'd come back. Not like a boomerang. You'd always know when they'd come back. Not those USA boomerangs, but the real Austrailian ones. They were real quality....

    What were we talking about??
