Ask YC: What Blogging Software do you use?
If your blogging software is mentioned, vote for it otherwise add it to the list.
- cperciva 19y agoI wrote my own shell script for taking a directory containing posts and rendering my blog.
- bigtoga 19y agoBlogger for personal, Typepad for business.
- bkbleikamp 19y agoI have used WordPress(.org) & MoveableType. Of the two WordPress is by far my favorite. The caching helps it scale nearly as well as MoveableType and there are a lot more themes, a ton of plugins, and a very active community to help with anything you need. Also WP is written with PHP and is a breeze to setup. MT is Perl and most people who aren't hackers tend to get scared away from the config files.
- SwellJoe 19y agoTo be fair to MT, the recent versions have a nice setup wizard. It's still more trouble to install than WordPress, but there are far fewer instances where you're seeing configuration files in Movable Type these days. (But we use WordPress, anyway.)
- Mrinal 19y agoTypepad for business and Vox for personal
- JulianMontez 19y agoUsing Chyrp http://chyrp.net/ http://chyrp.net/ . Nice open-source tumblelog software. :)

- jamesbritt 19y agoMephisto
- generalk 19y agoUsing Wordpress right now (voted for that one) but I'm looking strongly at Mephisto. Written in Rails and has a badass name? Sign me up!
- apgwoz 19y agoa custom built django application powers photub.com.
- brlewis 19y agoOurDoings (my own). It started out as a photo-sharing site, but it grew into blogging. It now integrates with Disqus for comments and Technorati for trackbacks. It also integrates with FriendFeed (ff) using a push system that automatically includes thumbnails of photos related to your posts. In this way it's better than letting ff pull from your blog's feed, because media RSS is not yet supported by ff.
- cmm324 19y agoblogger for personal and corporate

- mattdennewitz 19y agowriting ones own blogging software has become a "coming of age" experience anymore :)
- borga 19y agoWordpress, but I used MT in the past. I prefer Wordpress due to the amount of nice add-ons, themes, etc that are available.
