Re: [WSG] stand alone blog software
I *want* to like Drupal. I really do. When it's working, it's a beautiful thing. But I've recently had a lot of trouble installing the recent version. So much trouble that I gave up on it :( Lucien.

Re: [WSG] stand alone blog software
I *want* to like Drupal. I really do. same here When it's working, it's a beautiful thing. But I've recently had a lot of trouble installing the recent version. So much trouble that I gave up on it :( I gave up because it was too slow on a high-traffic site on a busy shared server where the bottleneck is the mysql queue. .. way too many mysql statements run to do anything... and using mysql for caching is a very bad idea - slows it down even more. drupal is not unique there ... almost every off-the-shelf cms I've looked at has the same problem. I'm hoping the new version is better but haven't tried it yet. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] stand alone blog software
I have happily used and hosted Moveable Type ( http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/) on my small servers for years. The updates when they come out install easily too and had no real learning curve. The templates are easy to customize to compliant, accessible xhtml. Susan On 5/24/07, Michael MD [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I *want* to like Drupal.

RE: [WSG] stand alone blog software
Thanks for the response, despite my unintentional post. I'm so glad I did post here since the blog really needs to be accessible and fluid. I'm even more scared than I was before I 'knew' anything! PHP and MySQL I figured I'd have to deal with, but LAMP and such?? Yikes. I shall carve out a chunk of time and play with Wordpress. Thanks for all the responses! Lisa Lisa B.

Re: [WSG] stand alone blog software
Sounds like you need Wordpress. http://wordpress.org/ From what you describe, it can do all that. It's also highly themeable if you need a specific custom look and feel. L. Lucien Stals [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lisa B McLaughlin [EMAIL PROTECTED] 24/05/07 8:41 AM Calling all blog wizards! I need a stand alone blogging software that I can insert into a client's website so they keep their branding and can update their own blogs. I've looked around to no avail. Any suggestions for where to look, how to look, or anything you use that fits the bill? Requirements are images, postings, replies to the original posting plus ability to respond to individual posts. The site is a UK charitable organization that needs the posts to be monitored,anonymous, and secure. The real trick here is being able to pull this off without fancy programming skills. I am willing to host wherever is necessary instead of hosting on my regular servers. TIA, Lisa Lisa B.

When you say you've been looking to no avail, what have you looked at and why were they no good?
