Recently i was pondering the idea of blogging, i tried out all of the scripts above (and a few others) and
I can safely say WordPress caught the eye, For some simple reasons:
-Simple to read & Update
-Simple admin interference
-Easy to install skins, Which are easily available.

So yeah wordpress wins my vote.

I like Serendipity for a few reasons. First, it supports more than just MySQL for a database backend. This is a *big* plus for me since I no longer use MySQL on my personal servers, and it seems that PHP programmers don't seem to know anything about database abstraction. Generally I find that software that ulitises flexible DB abstraction is more properly and sanely coded overall.

It provides pretty much all the features any blog software would be expected to (skinning via CSS, good interface, standards compliant, trackback, rss feeds for categories, plugins etc.), as well as a few things that aren't too common right now like threaded commenting.

I've played with all of the above as well, and I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one considering plog. Right now it's my top contender.

@404, I don't recall serendipity, but as an old-school, hardcore C/C++/java/php programmer (and one who is switching slowly to postgresql), your DB comments caught my eye. I'll have to check it out.
