Blog Software

Posted by Luke Cowell on April 10, 2007 at 08:00 AM

I'm using a little something called simplelog for my site. I decided to use it based on the following criteria:

  • Built on Ruby on Rails

    A Web development platform I'm very interested in.

  • Simple to use
  • Good built in theme

    I have no design ability.

  • Can link directly to posts

    Many of my posts will be for the benefit of my clients and peers and I need to be able to link directly

  • Tags

    I will be posting on a wide variety of subject, that in combination with my bad memory means that I might be making the same posts twice. The same posts twice.

I'm sure that there's other great blog tools out there. What are you using ? What are you staying away from ?

I'm using wordpress, mostly because of the large development community behind it. I love RoR, but there aren't a lot of projects out there yet that have the kind of ground swell that some of the more 'mature' projects in the php world have.

Plus I'm much handier with PHP than I am with Ruby right now, so I feel more comfortable hacking at WP than I would a blog platform written in another language.
