How Good is WordPress? 9 WordPress Alternatives
Posted on September 25th, 2007 3 commentsHow Good is WordPress? I love it but it is good to keep your eyes open …
I came across this list and it is worth taking a look at and seeing the alternatives.
9 WordPress Alternatives - Mitchelaneous
Drupal - Drupal is a little more of a WordPress on steroids. Lots of goodies and better membership system in place too.
AJAXPress - A little buggy by looking at the demo but will become a better idea once it has had more time to get polished.
Textpattern - Flexable and open source blogging solution - much of the same WordPress look and feel.
Serendipity - This is a PHP-powered weblog application which gives the user an easy way to maintain a weblog or even a complete homepage.
Joomla - Like Drupal, might be too feature rich for the casual blogging fan - but a good engine for in depth web sites or basic blogs.
b2evolution - An old one, but still a good one - and can hold it’s own weight still with the other selections out there.
Simplog - Simple, yet powerful - the name says it all here. You want basics without the fluff - go with Simplog.
Wikiblog - This one tries to mix the blogging and wiki sides of things into an interesting mashup of content creation.
Sblog - Another one similar to WordPress, looks like it is playing catchup too. Once it gets there though, might be worthy competition.
Any other packages to add to the list?

Just two sentences:
(1) Drupal is much more a complete CMS than a blogging system, I would not consider to take that a Wordpress alternative.
(2) b2evo is more complicated then wordpress - BUT it’s a multi-blogging engine. That means you can run lots of blogs on one DB.
And a last one… when you mention drupal, you should also give plone a chance
cheers

Rainer, thanks for the comments. I have installed b2evo in the past and it does work well. In fact, I was able to get it running on my account and not WordPress Mu. I have to go try this again.
Thanks,
