Best lightweight blog script?
 

Anyone got any recommendations? I have been looking at Pivot, Nucleus etc, but need some more suggestions.

Thx! :thumbsup

www.wordpress.org is all you need to know

Depends on what your definition of lightweight is. I don't consider Wordpress lightweight anymore, it's definitely out of that category now but the features it offers are top-notch.

I switched from MovableType (very great cgi/perl application at the time) to Wordpress about 2 years ago and haven't looked back. Wordpress has basically become the standard in blogging.

If your host offers Ruby on Rails, try typo as well.

Or just change hosts.

Thx for your suggestions. Well, maybe its not so much a question of finding something lightweight, but to find the one that uses the least resources.

I think it was Baddog who said a normal(well some kind of standard box) dedicated server would handle 2k blogs or so. Anyways, less resources used = more blogs, and thats what I need.

www.simplog.org is lightweight as they come...

Actually, I believe I said that we had a customer that was running 2,000 wordpress blogs on a server with 512 MB RAM, he was noticing a problem. When we bumped him up to 2 GB everything went back to normal.

How would anyone have time to update 2000 blogs! Must be doing something else.

Not sure you want "light" to run light, or "light" to build on. But check out: simplog.

anyone who is running more than 10 blogs and still doing manual updates is not using their time or resources wisely :2 cents:

there are so many solutions these days for creating automatic blogs that there is absolutely no reason to be cranking out articles by hand

Ya but if you don't have unique articles you don't get much love from the search engines.

it doesn't take much to hire some outsourced labor for a month to write out 2000-3000 articles for you

ever hear of RSS2Blog?

Let's say you only make $1 a day from your blog . . . if you have 2,000 of them you don't think you would be happy?

Yes that would be nice.

One word: "unique".
