      Wordpress seems pretty good, from my limited experience with it. You can either create a Wordpress account and create a blog on their site, or download the server software yourself for you to setup.

        You can blog on the Code Project platform.

        I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

            WordPress[^] is the best blog software...easy to set up and use, tons of off the shelf templates and plugins you can buy for it. For a general content site, you'd be better off with Joomla[^].

              For .Net developers interested in adding their own sweet customizations to their sites/blogs, I recommend Umbraco (I've used it at work for a few years). However, the learning curve can be steep. For most people just interested in getting something up quick, WordPress seems to be what most go with (my last employer even went with that for their blog). Also, I've never tried it, but I've repeatedly come across https://medium.com/ and it looks very clean.

                Given that the whole idea of a blog is that you write a page of text once, then write another page of text once, etc, I'm amazed that any kind of software is needed for them, let alone databases and CMS-es. Just write your pages of text, put up a linky index page for 'em, and add guest books at the bottom of the pages if you want an interactive element.

                      Too much clicketies would mess the linky page over time. Don't you think? And what if I want that creepy post I made with too much NSFWish words that I wrote may be a year later

                        This is promising. Finally something I can add my sweet customizations.

                          PHP to write JavaScript which dynamically writes HTML and posts back AJAX requests to more PHP pages (or why not ASP classic?) to fill in sections of content!

                            I second that. I also want to know which CMSes are good today. (last time I used CMS was like 10 years ago, now its site doesn't even exist :( so I'm on my own )

                              I'm reasonably sure that you're smart enough to come up with simple, non-labour-or-system-resource-intensive methods for handling both of those problems. And bear in mind that "a year later" is likely to be less than 50 pages of content. How much time will it take you to learn how to use new software, create the database (and recreate the database and re-create the database until you've got it right), and create and maintain the infrastructure required by the software and the database? That's gotta be time enough to create thirty pages' worth of blog content flushed down the toilet right there.
