Weblog Creation

This is the third time I’ve tried to set up a web­log. Maybe this time I’ll actu­ally feel happy enough with the res­ults that I start pub­licly using it, rather than bog­ging down installing and testing. 

Unlike many people I know, I decided that my main reas­on for blog­ging was to blog, rather than to code a blog­ging sys­tem, and that I had no great desire to do so (using someone else’s work and then tweak­ing to suit my needs has always appealed). So I set out to find what soft­ware there is out there that I like the look of, and could install on the box in the base­ment which is my web server.

Why Weblogs?

Web­logs are the nat­ur­al exten­sion to home pages 1994-style. Instead of stat­ic pic­tures of cats, they are today’s pic­ture of the cats (or garden, or sun­set). They’re an online diary, a pro­ject man­age­ment tool, and a place to record pro­gress in whatever you do.
