Ask YC: What Blogging Software do you use?

Blogger for personal, Typepad for business.

I wrote my own shell script for taking a directory containing posts and rendering my blog.

I have used WordPress(.org) & MoveableType.

Of the two WordPress is by far my favorite. The caching helps it scale nearly as well as MoveableType and there are a lot more themes, a ton of plugins, and a very active community to help with anything you need.

Also WP is written with PHP and is a breeze to setup. MT is Perl and most people who aren't hackers tend to get scared away from the config files.

Typepad for business and Vox for personal

Using Chyrp http://chyrp.net/ . Nice open-source tumblelog software. :)

I use blogger with my own domain. Started the blog as part of a college class, use it more for personal stuff now

Wrote my own with Rails.

Servee(.com)

Movable Type

memphisto

Mephisto

Using Wordpress right now (voted for that one) but I'm looking strongly at Mephisto. Written in Rails and has a badass name? Sign me up!

a custom built django application powers photub.com.

OurDoings (my own). It started out as a photo-sharing site, but it grew into blogging. It now integrates with Disqus for comments and Technorati for trackbacks. It also integrates with FriendFeed (ff) using a push system that automatically includes thumbnails of photos related to your posts. In this way it's better than letting ff pull from your blog's feed, because media RSS is not yet supported by ff.

blogger for personal and corporate

Angerwhale.

I wrote my own, but I did end up copying 2 functions from WordPress (wpautop and some kses input stuff).

RapidWeaver on mac os x. (Similar to MovableType but less hassle).

Wordpress (huge fan) but also considering Drupal as well.

writing ones own blogging software has become a "coming of age" experience anymore :)

Wordpress, but I used MT in the past. I prefer Wordpress due to the amount of nice add-ons, themes, etc that are available.
