My son and Daughter want to start a Blog. So it got me thinking I would like to be able to moinitor who checks out thre Blogs ( there are some weird-o's out there ) and have editing capability.

And I have a Web server in the basement , so Why not put some blog software on it and go.

Now the question , Any one know what some good blogging software is ? Would prefer it to be for Linux or Solaris.

Wordpress is the obvious choice. Free and powerful.

without some sort of login + verification all you're going to get out of that is a list of IPs. not much help in telling if that's little johnny from the 2nd grade class or his perverted uncle.

Have you used it ?


I downloaded and installed Blogcms and it looked more like a forum than a Blog.

i'd just sign them up for xanga and make their posts protected, only readable by people with accounts that you manually add.

Yeah until recently I used it. I liked it but decided that the site needed to be something different than the chronoligical blog format so I developed something custom.

Wordpress is the best by far. I've used it on a dozen different sites, and compared to the alternatives it's by far the best free blog software (better than most of the paid stuff too).
