 Click For a Bigger Picture. "A blog (a contraction of the term "Web log") is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog." We support a wide range of blog software that you can choose to install and/or host with us. Each one of the software’s has its pros and cons and we suggest that you check out the description below and try the software in available demos. You should also visit the software's websites for more information and check out available plugins, themes and help from the community. Most of the software can be modified with different types of plugins; you can install extra themes to get the look and feel that you want. We will soon launch a theme gallery so it will be easier to choose the theme that is right for you. b2evolution
b2evolution is a powerful multi-lingual, multi-user, multi-blog publishing tool you can install on your own website. It includes all the features of traditional blog tools, and extends them with evolved features such as file & photo management, advanced skinning, multiple blogs support as well as detailed user permissions. It runs virtually anywhere (PHP/MySQL) and it's available in many languages! One of the main differentiating features of b2evolution is its ability to manage multiple blogs under a single installation. Features in current releases include: community-wide spam filters, in which many b2evolution sites aggregate and "tag" spammer IPs into a central blacklist for the benefit of all b2evolution blogs; a fully skinnable interface; localization into a dozen language packs; and a fully exposed API for plugin developers to add new functionality. Several popular plugins have been developed for b2evolution. These include text format extensions enabling Textile, Auto-P, Greymatter, BB code, Texturize, LaTeX, and graphic smilies. Also, plugins which facilitates full integration with third party tools such as Gallery 2, YouTube and digg are available. Development Status: Production/Stable. LifeType
LifeType supports multiple blogs and users, media management, generation of standard content, clean URLs and support for sub domains. LifeType is released under the GPL license, and requires PHP and MySQL to work. Writing articles is comfortable with the included state of the art WYSIWYG editor. Adding pictures and sound files (for Podcasting) is just a matter of browse and click. The Dashboard provides you with all the information you need every time you log in. Recent articles, comments and trackback as well as brief statistics get you updated about your blog immediately. Development Status: Production/Stable. Nucleus CMS
Nucleus CMS is an open-source blog management software package written in PHP, with a MySQL backend. It is used to manage frequently-updated Web content. With a little tweaking (mainly to skins) it might be considered a lightweight content management system, although there is no facility to upload file types other than graphic files to be displayed within the blog pages. Development Status: Production/Stable. WordPress
WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. What a mouthful. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time. More simply, WordPress is what you use when you want to work with your blogging software, not fight it. Development Status: Production/Stable. WordPress Multi User
Ever dream of running hundreds of thousands of blogs with a single install of WordPress? WordPress MU, or multi-user, is designed to do exactly that. It is most famously used for WordPress.com where it serves tens of millions of hits on hundreds of thousands of blogs each day.
