The first blog I used was WordPress. I chose it because it had the nicest templates and did exactly what I wanted it to do. This may account for why I like it so much. Then after a fairly comprehensive evaluation of a few opensource products I felt able to recommended it for a while.

I looked at quite a few blogs and seriously considered moving to b2evolution. It is certainly a full featured product, is mostly very easy to use and has an increasingly large number of attractive pre-made themes.  For a long time its anti-spam system was much better, but now WordPress is using the Akismet plugin and has a 1 click delete spam button. It seems to me that this is far easier to use than the present B2Evolution system, which can be a little confusing, so at present I’ll stick with WordPress.

I'd like it if you would let me know about your favourite blog software out there so I can have a look at it.
