pfeffer5308 Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 hey all, does anyone know of a simple blog that will allow me to simply input text so that I can use it as an online journal type thing? Or simply add/delete text in a journal type environment? Thank you in advance! pfeffer5308 Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 Well there are many blogging software solutions you can use. Movable Type, WordPress, TextPattern, Blogger and a host of others. I've used Blogger and now use Movable Type. There are plenty to choose from. Moving for better exposure. Quote
borfast Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 (edited) Hi Chris. Well, I suggest WordPress. It's easy to set up and has a lot of funtionalities that you may or may not use. There's also TextPattern but most people who tried both seem to prefer WP (including myself). By the way, I'm moving this to a more appropriate forum. Edit: OK, forget about the moving part, Bruce was quicker than me Edited August 30, 2004 by TCH-Raul Quote
arvind Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 Since you're looking for something so simple I would recommend either WordPress or Blogger. If you're looking for something really basic then blogger is your best bet as with WordPress you can do a lot with it but do need a fairly good knowledge of PHP to get it off the ground ! I personally use Movable Type, but I'm thinking that install and the power it provides are not really what you are looking for until perhaps you get the hang of blogging ! Quote
planetphillip Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 I think WordPress is excellent and vote for that. I disagree with Arvind's statement but do need a fairly good knowledge of PHP to get it off the ground ! You do not need any php knowledge to get it running, but if you want to customize it then knowledge of php is useful. The support forums are generally very helpful and the installation is normally very easy. hth Phillip Quote
TCH-Dick Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 (edited) I'm with Phillip, I have been trying out WordPress for a few weeks now. It was easy to setup and just as easy to maintain. One more thing Chris. Are you from Houston? I noticed the old "BUZZ" shirt on your site. Edited August 31, 2004 by TCH-Dick Quote
