Okay, I have always used wordpress cause its free and open source but Ive been noticing alot of hightraffic blogsdont use wordpress instead they use software thats a little more propietary like moveable type or typepad, So does anyone on DP use blogging software other than wordpress and if so, how does it compare?
ah i only use wordpress, thts definately a myth, no reason why wordpress blogs recieve less traffic, just add a nice theme and you will see the difference
I didnt mean popular sites dont use WP, I meant I noticed some popular sites use other platforms so maybe those platforms have some merit.
As long as a blog platform does the job, then it has merit. I've noticed that other blog systems are being used lately (or maybe I'm just seeing it more often), but I think that has more to do with plugins and themes than anything else.
I've also noticed the same thing. I am guessing there are probably several reasons for this. One may be that Movable Type was very popular when blogging was just getting started, and that is where many of the early adopters got their start. I also suspect there may be some security, stability, scalability, and design flexibility when using the other blogging platforms. Or, it may just be inertia. Rich
wordpress is my favor too. but sometimes it cost much cpu usage, it may be the reason why hightraffic blog do not use wordpress
kingjacob, xooArticles is the brand new type of blogging platform, you can try it. btw, you can get it for free now, you need just to register.
I dont think xooArticles can compete with wordpress and Ive spent way too much time learning to them wp to switch platforms now but if I did it would probally be to moveabletyp or typepad.
