Web Concepts

I have gotten a handful of e-mails from people asking me to go over and explain blogging. From head to toe, first you need to find a blogging script to use, then you need to find the best way for you to blog and lastly you need something to blog about.

Blog and Content Management Scripts

Of course, to setup a blog you must first have a good blogging script or content management system. Here are a few of the best alternatives out there to choose from:

• WordPress
• Drupal
• AJAXPress
• CuteNews
• MovableType
• Textpattern
• Serendipity
• Joomla
• b2evolution
• blojsom
• Sblog
• Expression Engine
• blosxom
• Simplog
• Nucleus
• Wikiblog
• bBlog
