What's the best way to set up a blog?

Asked by bob (3223points) July 18th, 2007

I'm looking for something I can update with relative ease, and something I can customize to make it look and act the way I'd like it to. I've used wordpress in the past. I'm open to Django, Moveable Type, Textpattern, or others. Mostly I'm looking for recommendations.

Go for Blogger - quick and easy.

I really dig ExpressionEngine: http://www.expressionengine.com

Also, if you're into Ruby at all, SimpleLog has gotten great reviews: http://simplelog.net/

I like wordpress.com (self hosted) and tumblr.com

Great suggestions. Blogger isn't customizable enough for me, I think. SimpleLog and ExpressionEngine both look cool. Mephisto (http://www.mephistoblog.com) is another system that looks good.
