There’s More To Blog Software Than Just WordPress

You could sometimes be mistaken into thinking that WordPress was the only blog software worth using. The reality is there are many other blog software programs available. A quick search on Wikipedia revealed no less than 33 different blog software programs.
WordPress is one of the more popular choices. However Drupal, B2Evolution and Moveable Type have all been popular in the world of self hosted blog software packages.
Each package had its own group of keen followers. Most of these packages are open source and there is plenty of encouragement to either improve the basic program or to develop themes, plugins or modules that can add features.
Sometime it can be worth playing with some of these alternatives to just to get a feel for them. If you have a self hosted site with and interface like cPane, you can install blog software programs that come with the cPanel software. B2Eolution and Drupal are popular inclusion along with WordPress.
Blog software doesn’t stop at WordPress and for some niches; there may be better software packages available. Join related forums and check out what other find best suited to the niche.
