I’ve been playing around with blogware for the last month or so in search of what I personally would like to use:

• A web language: Perl is nice, but PHP is made for the web.
• Database: I have db access, but do I really need to bother. My blog isn’t Amazon.com
• UI: I actually enjoy a UI for blogging despite my love affair with the terminal. Go figure.
• Nice looks out of the box. MovableType was the far and away the winner in this category, and that’s what kept me tied to it.
• Referrers: So people who comment on my blogments (and when people click through to my blog) I and readers can follow them to origin. i.e. someone doesn’t have to comment in my space

Overall not ridiculous desires for blogware, but alas I only found one that fit the bill. Pivot. If these fit specs fit what you’re looking for give it a test spin & let us know what you think.

There’s even a WYSIWYG editor that updates as you type your entries. Tres’ cool.

Tried Pivot? Is there another I’ve missed fitting these criteria?
