I've almost always used Wordpress for everything. It is simple to use, easy to customize and has a lot of plugins etc that may be very useful depending on your needs.
Why reinvent the wheel so to say. Wordpress is widely used and seems to do the job well in most situations. Especially if the users responsible for the blog are non-technical, don't make it harder than it has to be to write those posts.
- EnderMB 13y agoI've given my fair share of hate towards developers that use WordPress for everything (advanced CMS, application platform, etc) but the reason it is so popular is because it's such a great blogging platform. Yes, it's quite bloated, and there are many cleaner options out there, but it will work as a blogging platform, and it will work just as good as any other script out there.
- peacemaker 13y agoI was using Wordpress for my blog until I installed New Relic and got to see how bloated and slow it is. Yes, I installed various caching and performance plugins but it always felt a bit slow. I'm still looking for something extremely light weight that I can plug into an existing website (rather than take over the entire code base) but until then I'm just using a simple 'blog' that I wrote myself.
