Switching blog software
Written 18 May 2005
Well, I’ve done it again. I switched blogging software. This time around I’m using “bBlog”:bblog.com. How long will it last? I don’t know. However, there are a number of things that appela to me, compared to the previous “BLOG:CMS”:blogcms.org:
- Smaller footprint - 300KiB download
- Simpler Admin interface
- Easier upgrading (“BLOG:CMS”:blogcms.org was essentially a backup-reinstall upgrade)
- Templating provided by “Smarty”:smart.php.net
- Very little of the templating embedded within the software
- Templates stored as files
- and on, and on
Currently, the only thing “bBlog”:bblog.com lacks that I used in “BLOG:CMS”blogcms.org is the multiple blog feature, although it can be approximated by separate installs, which I may do.
