Hi;
Does anyone have any views regarding the best blogging tool (server-
side, not hosted) from a web-standards perspective? I'm looking at
setting up a business blog at the moment and although I'm wading through
'Blog Design Solutions' by Andy Budd et al I'm still not certain which
one to settle
I've only used Expression Engine and Wordpress but they'll output whatever
HTML you put into your templates so how standards-friendly is entirely up
to the user and there is no limitations imposed by the CMS.

That's good to know John, thanks.
I was concerned
Rick,
Yes, you can make a Wordpress, Expression Engine, Textpattern,
MovableType, etc. blog COMPLETELY validate. Example:

You can even make a Wordpress blog (and probably the others) output
valid HTML 4 instead of XHTML. Tutorial:
Most HTML tags get written into your template by you. There's only a few
functions I can think of that output tags as well as a content and most of
the time, it's perfectly valid HTML.

That's a really useful tutorial Christian, thanks.
One question though: On
Rick, PHP shouldn't affect IE at all because it gets calculated on
the server, so by the time the page gets to the browser, it's 100%
HTML/XHTML/whatever - no PHP is seen on the client-side at all.

One question though: On your tutorial page, you appear to put some PHP
code above the doctype in order to remove any instance of self-closing
tags. Specifically:

Does this not throw Explorer into quirks mode? I was under the
impression that anything (other than whitespace, maybe)

Rather than doing JavaScript and a form, I thought I'd just go with
