Comments on: growing dissatisfaction with wordpress http://www.complich8.net/archives/252 complacence is the enemy Mon, 25 Oct 2010 13:22:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Michael Olson http://www.complich8.net/archives/252/comment-page-1#comment-522 Michael Olson Sun, 30 Apr 2006 14:28:04 +0000 /archives/252#comment-522 I'm pretty happy with PyBlosxom. It works on the one-entry-per-file principle, and creating a new entry is just a matter of editing it locally and uploading it to your server. There are a few on-the-fly text->html converters that you could install server-side if you don't want to write in raw HTML. Also a multi-categories plugin, if that's your cup of tea.

Unfortunately, Typo seems to have many of its own annoyances, particularly with the admin portion, so I can't really recommend that either. It does, however, look somewhat "fresh" in comparison, at least. Unfortunately, the reason we use Wordpress or Typo is because despite its faults it is still easier than making our own blog software that has all of the expected features. Blogs used to just be simple posts, so it wasn't that bothersome to create, but nowadays a feed, comments, trackback, search, and categories are standard and in free software blogs. There's always using a centralized service like Blogger or Typepad (or *shudder* LiveJournal). I understand your annoyance with WordPress.
