Blogging apps?

Post by DaddyHoggy »

I've been given editorial access to my friend's website http://www.jonnierocket.com and there's currently no blog app installed on the site - I have a choice of three and I was after a recommendation. My choices are:

b2evolution
Nucleus
WordPress


Wordpress is the only one I recognise the name of - I'm after ease of use rather than tons of capability... (as we both may end up blogging)

Cheers,

DH

Don't know the others, but the WordPress at least is very easy to work with and to customise whichever way you want.

That's what I'd heard - so that's one vote for Wordpress!

Hmmm, it would seem something has gone awry with this site (it changed service providers yesterday - it's now hosted by jomongee) - the original main page now goes to some bizarre set up page http://www.jonnierocket.com - it's only when you go to http://www.jonnierocket.com/index.php does the site work as previous/advertised.

So getting a blog up may be the least of our worries until we speak to the host provider...

Wordpress is what I use. Very happy with it. Very easy to use.
