What Blog System?

I am looking to expand my sites content but getting articles on a Blog set up as a Sub Domain to my site. I am looking at the following and was hoping to get some comments on them to ease my decision.

Nucleus
Wordpress
Drupal
Geeklog
Joomla
Mambo
phpWCMS
phpWebSite
Siteframe
TYPO3
Xoops

It need to be customisable to blend in with my site www.cosmeticsfairy.co.uk while being reliable, easy to use, and generate a RSS feed.

Thanks all.

 

Go with Wordpress. It's the best!

 

I'd suggest writing your own blog platform... It's not hard, and that way it's completely custom

 

WP is the king

 

Woedpress is the best....user friendly too..

 

But doesn't wordpress request data from the database every time a page loads? That seems like so much unneeded processing power...

 

Go for Wordpress. Its the best!!

 

as stated above... wordpress.

 

I love wordpress!

 

I would also recommend Word Press, but tarponkeith is correct, you would be better off developing your own platform if possible.

 

Wordpress is by far the most popular, most powerful, and most supported blogging platform. It is easy to customize and there are numerous plugins available to expand functionality.

 

I agree. Go with Wordpress. It's one of the best blogging systems out there.

 

For blog, go for wordpress. Easy to use. I can set it up in a few minutes

 

Yes it does, but WP-Cache plugin helps the problem.

Unless you really want to code one of your own, WordPress is the way to go.

 

For Blogging Platform Wordpress is easy available in all Hosting accounts like in CPanel and also on Godaddy
So better go with it

 

WordPress is probably the best out of the list specified above. I'm using it and I love it!

Wow, thanks guys. Looks like it is Wordpress then.

Thanks again.

 

Wordpress easily.

 

That's true, i'm geeklog user, and i converted my database to wordpress, my site has a lot of visitors daily, and with wordpress the site went down ...because of WP heavy database requests.

I tried to use WP-Cache plugin but nothing solves. I tried to take off all plugins of WP, nothing happens, the site went offline...I tried some apache optimizations and php aswell, but believe in me, nothing worked.

Plus, i was running WP in a dedicated server.

So, i don't recommend wordpress if you have a site with you have many visitors.

 

I love using wordpress. You can customize your own template even if you dont have much CSS or HTML skill
