More analysis of blog software
I've spent the last couple of hours doing more research, and learning more about blog software. This comparative article on blogware was very helpful.
Weblog Publishing:
Desktop Server
Radio Userland
Perl
Blosxom (Mac originated; usable cross-platform)
Greymatter
Movable Type
Client App
City Desk (Client App $350)
Tinderbox (Mac only)
Weblog Community:
PHP
Geeklog
pMachine (pMachine is free; Expression Engine is $149)
Nucleus
Word Press (successor of b2/cafelog)
I'm leaning heavily toward the PHP options, but there are quite a few to evaluate. WordPress is getting a serious look because of its LiveJournal importer feature; really, after looking at some of the others, I'd have to say that it's the front runner.
I know I definitely want one that's will work with a handy update client comparable to Semagic. I sometimes update my LJ via the web, but typically, it's with Semagic. I just like having a client separate from the browser.
