Which Blog Software Do You Use and Updates

I just wanted to make some comments on the direction of this blog and get some feedback so give me some.

What is happening now

I have been working on a really big article that will help wrap up the “Creating a Blog Design from Scratch” series. After that I will organize it so that there is a page that will link to each article so that it’s easy to find everything. Plus, I am going to redesign the sidebar again for the seventh time.

Once that is done, I will start finishing up the “Blog Design 101″series. I know some people have been waiting for the next article on that series so I just wanted to let you know I haven’t forgotten about it.

Future plans

In the future, I want to start touching on the coding side of blog design so this poll is to see which blog software most people are using. I will be covering WordPress for sure, but I want to see if it is worthwhile to cover anything else. Only pick the blogs that you are interested in reading an article about. If you have any other topics you would like me to cover, feel free to leave a comment or send me an email.

  1. Been with blogger for two years now. one of the reasons is that it’s free. Unlike wp.com, I can customize the design. But there are problems with feeds and design validation.

  2. Always have been a wordpress user, although the “security” is sometimes fuzzy.

  3. I’ve been using typepad and switched to wordpress recently. Mainly because of the possibilities and speed.

  7. I’ve been a Wordpress user for a few years now. I used to use Movable Type but switched because of how slow updating Movable Type was. It seems like WP has the best community of support and I absolutely love 2.5’s interface changes.

  8. I’ve been a Wordpress user for quite some time. My first blog was on Geeklog, but I haven’t really seen anyone using them for a long time. I can’t wait for you to get into the coding for theme design because I am working on completely redesigning my blog.

  9. You should consider BlogEngine.NET (dotnetblogengine.com), it is free and open source blog engine written in asp.net. It is easy to use and extremely easy to theme. I found more and more blogs that runs on this engine.

    I am creating my second blog (jankoatwarpspeed.com) which will be my customized and themed version of BlogEngine.net.

    You can also consider Community Server. My first blog is running on that engine, although I am not very happy.

  10. Compendium is a newer company focused only on the Corporate and organizational market.

    We are not free, but we are laser focused on meeting the needs of business. We launched in July of ‘07 and double every quarter.

    I’ll be happy to provide more information if you are interested.

  11. Hey Vinh,
    Great blog. I use wordpress. Its plugin support is the main reason.

    Keep up the great work! Do you have a stumble account?

  12. I use a blog engine called b2evolution which I found about a year ago. I was about to drop them in favor of WordPress, but then I discovered that the new version had far superior widget handling capabilities, that made my redesign a whole lot easier.

    Who knew that the only way to change plugin and widget settings in WP was to edit code? I was shocked when I found this out, especially since the code written for b2evo tends to be much easier to modify AND easier on the eyes.

    That being said, I do wish there were a few more plugins written for b2evolution. They don’t have the huge community that WordPress does, although since this latest update a bunch more people seem to be jumping on the bandwagon.

  13. Joomla! user over here too. Kind-of-disappointed it’s missing from the list.

    Joomla! is actually a CMS (not a blogging platform such as Blogger or Wordpress), but so is Drupal.

  16. Chyrp (http://chyrp.net). Lightweight, modular, customizable, generally good UX. I’m a fan.

  17. I use Expression Engine for all 4 of my blogs and am currently picking up my web design skills in order to go pro in the next year or so.

  18. I use both Joomla and wordpress. My experience is that Joomla is a bit harder but has more options for configurations as well.

  39. Wordpress, however I will say its a pain in the ass to get the darn thing SEO friendly, takes a good amount of work. Its real benefit however is the ease in which you can get it up and running.

    I have started using Drupal lately. I find it to be kind of the opposite. Good on the SEO end (automatically blocks alot of the stuff in the robots.txt that you don’t need indexed) but does take a good amount of configuring.
