Its blogtastic
After mulling it over for a quite a while I’ve finally succumbed and have decided to start my own blog… Err… this is it
So, what blog tool to use? Needs to be…
- simple to set up and use
- clean & look good
- easy to integrate and upload to from Journler
- extendable if I want it…
iWeb?
- don’t think so… the standard templates are not to my taste and after a bit of research looking for free alternatives and/or finding out how to create my own it just seems too much effort…
Looked at blogs I know…
- www.suckmypixel.com – uses Moveable Type 3.2
- www.soundwidgets.com – uses www.blogger.com
- www.pixelsumo.com – uses WordPress
Decided on WordPress
- had some problems installing the latest version and ended up having to use an ealier release (2.0.11-RC3) because my WebFusion hosting only runs MYSQL 3… doh!.. but otherwise extremely painless set up… and I’ve found a nice clean minimalist theme which I’m now digging around in and adapting to my taste
- integrated it easily with Journler v2.5.3
- will look to extend functionality with plug-ins etc.
