Blogware Choice
Owen, who previously had laid out a large chart of different blogging software packages, just chose WordPress for his blog. His reasons echo my own.
So here were my deciding factors:
Answer #1: Pretty GUI. Ok, this sounds superficial. But if you’re going to be looking at software nearly every day for as long as you blog, you’re going to want something that doesn’t make you cringe with its color choices. You want all of the buttons to do what they say and be easily found. You want it so clear that when you ask your mom to guest-author while you’re on vacation, you don’t have to sit with her and explain everything.
[…]
Answer #2: Free. If, for some reason, I get upset that the developers of WordPress are not interested in providing new features that I want, I can grab the code, add my own changes, and release it under a different name.
[…]
Answer #3: Support.
[…]
Anyway, there you have it. The twisted reasoning behind my choices. I’m not saying that WordPress is the best blogware out there, just that it meets my needs better than anything else does.
