Normally I use Drupal, sometimes WordPress, or create a customer script. (In the past I have used Blosxom.) For a new blog I'm setting up, I decided Drupal was a bit too much and I need a change from that boring bloat WordPress. I gave Pivotx a try (I had tried it quite a few years ago, but wondered how it had changed) and that fell over at the first hurdle (login - it didn't even like the passwords it gave me after a reset ). I might go back to it when I have more patience but now I'm looking up other options and trying different scripts. So I started looking at alternatives, such as Ghost, but I have no interest in Node.js or similar (I prefer PHP solutions, I don't mind flat-file over SQL). I'm not a fan of Joomla - pales in comparison to Drupal, just generally crap. Aside from WordPress, what blogging scripts do you like and why?
What is your goals here? For me, content and traffic....share what I know, see the traffic come in... Best ones Blog.com and Blogspot.com If you are building a new blog that is great besides wordpress, then joolma
It was 2011, i setup a python based blogging script which can be easily host to google app engine (appspot). The name is "Micolog". I found that interesting
