Whats the best blogging software?

I will also recommend WordPress: http://www.wordpress.org/

 

The problem with wordpress is that you have to pay a fee if you want to add google adsense ads.

Ed

 

Not if you're hosting it yourself. I think you're talking about the hosted blogs on the Wordpress.com domain, not the software itself which is at wordpress.org.

 

So it looks like wordpress is the best one to use and i can add adsnce on there and make my own custme header?

 

Yes. Just make necessary changes in temlate file.

 

WordPress rules yeah... I mean, you've got complete control of the template if you are hosting it yourself, there is an MU version, the support is wonderful, and there are tonnes and tonnes of plugins.

 

surely wordpress

 

Denifitely you can!You can do whatever that you do with a normal site.

 

wordpress, hands down!

 

I like blogger.com and I think you can add a spell checker.

 

Good thing about Firefox 2 is the built in spell checker. I was waiting for Wordpress to release the spell checker for default installs (I think they offer a spell checker on the hosted blogs), but since FF2 has come out, I don't think there'd be much need

My vote is for Wordpress as well, but haven't really played with any of the others that much.

 

Ok guys thanks for all the input ill try out wordpress look like its the best to go with.

 

If you are looking for a hosted blogging site, use wordpress at Wordpress.org is best.

If you are looking for free blogs, beta.blogger.com.

If you are doing blog community, much like blogfeast.net, Drupal is best.

 

WordPress is extremely extensible. It's easy to create your own templates, and technically you could even use it for a simple CMS

 

Cool

Is there any good places to find wordpress templates?

 

Go on Google and searcgh "wordpress templates" and search also "wordpress plugins"

 

The two best:
http://themes.wordpress.net/
http://www.alexking.org/index.php?content=software/wordpress/styles.php

or, just look at other people's blogs, and borrow the design...

 

Thanks ill check these links out later.

 

Or use serendipity and download and install plugins and themes straight from your blog admin control panel.

 

i was on b2 years ago, then b2 merged with some other company and launched wordpress.

There you have it. WP!
