    I have heard of "wordpress" which you can download and start using it on your server. Is there good "blog" which you can download and set up on my server?

    I found this. http://www.bblog.com/download.php

    Which one do you recommend? cheers.

    Wordpress is great. It's one of the most popular and as such most supported blog platforms out there.

    The other popular one is Movable Type, but it's not free.

    The one thing I will say about WordPress. To get the most out of it, you will need to learn a little programming. The people on this forum are good at programming questions. Or go through rentacoder or some similar site to make changes.

    For example, on mine I have it set to display an adsense block between stories 2-3 and 6-7. It was a fairly quick change, but required editing the php for the display loop.

    I don't know about the other one you've mentioned. Haven't seen it out in the "wild". From what I've seen, WP and MT are the two most popular.
