I am about to start my own blog as webmaster on my website, I am wondering which blog is good. I only know WordPress, but anything else? It gotta be free license.

thanks~!

Wordpress is the tops.

wordpress is great, another one is typo3.org

for comparisions see:
cmsmatrix.org (http://www.cmsmatrix.org/)

Try Serendipity www.s9y.org - lots of 1-click plugins (no php knowledge required) , easy templating and a superb media manager with auto thumbnailing.

i tried a few before settling on wordpress.

Wordpress is pretty much the best mate, easy to customize and has xhtml and css. I love to use it too, so easy to update and wide varity of plugins are also available for to ;)

I like Nucleus.

Another vote for wordpress to start blogging

And if you used wordpress, please, recommend any Wordpress tutorials to start.

wordpress is great as a blog, you will need to get some additional plug-ins to enhance the performance and SEO :)

In blogging, in my experience (and I guess in the experience of a myriad of people),

Wordpress has proven its stable positions as a primary choice of those both new or experienced in blogging.

Unfortunately, due to my recent start here, I can't support my opinion with useful

links to wordpress tutorials and the like but they are relatively easy to find in Google.

You can check http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page for wordpress guide

My vote is for WordPress. I've written my own blog script but if I didn't write my own I would of gone with Wordpress :)

Another vote goes to Wordpress. We've been together for 2 years now and I am very content with it - it simply has it all - skins, plugins...And very nice beginner-friendly tutorials to start with.

i heard wordpress is a little db heavy. any thoughts?
i still use it tho.

Wordpress is the very best, easy to install, easy to manage, easy to customize... its perfect.

Hi, viclopez ;)

Compared to some other blog systems I've operated on, like Blogspot, ExpressionEngine, Textpattern, Wordpress is really a bit a database hog.
Anyway, the features this blogging system provides are in times much more valuable than those in the other alternatives. Personal opinion :)

thanks for all the suggestions, guys!

I have chosen and installed WordPress, but I am wondering if there is any better WYSIWYG editor than the built-in one?

thanks

Maybe you'll find your question's answer in this thread (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/72202) ;)

Comparing WP to Movabletype and Serendipity - which one would work best for templating? I am not a PHP guru and I noticed MT uses things like <MTEntries> so you can easily stick them where you want them. Do the other two ofter similar systems?

Unfortunately, I've never worked with Movabletype and Serendipity, so I don't have any useful feed to share, but your question, Jerett, got me interested and I hope someone will take the time to satisfy our curiosity. ;)

Not to be overly boring, but another vote for WordPress. It's really flexible, and easy to use.

personally i use wordpress and I think it is the best out there

I also use Wordpress and I am pleased with it. Didn't like it at first, but it's a good script. And Akismet is a God sent when dealing with spam comments

Dojo,

Will you get deeper about that Akismet? I am looking for any working ways to kill as much spam as I possibly can.

Wordpress stands out in the big sea. It's easy to use and you can get a free blog with them.

Hi, you may look here (http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/topic.php?id=55&page) for a better wordpress editor.
