Wordpress is a really good choice if you just want to blog. Other alternatives than already mentioned: 1. Go oldschool, use serendipity: http://www.s9y.org/ http://www.s9y.org/. Really easy to install, easy to use/configure, full support for everything blogging related. And there is a cache-plugin (which of course also exists for wordpress). 2. There are quite some new takes on the classical blogging system. Habari is an example: http://habariproject.org/en/ http://habariproject.org/en/, has an interesting backend interface. Ghost on the other hand would be too new for me. If you want to have an internal comment system, static content blogs are the wrong way to go, afaik.
