Blogging Software

[Calvin]

Hey everyone, does anyone have a decent blogging platform besides from Wordpress that I can easily integrate into my design?

Thanks, +rep.

I know you've said "besides Wordpress" but I'd say that Wordpress is definitely the best, most widely used and supported blogging software.

Any reason as to why not Wordpress?

I'd like one that I can easily edit etc, whereas Wordpress is really hard to integrate myself. +Rep anyway.

I'd reccomend paying someone a couple of quid to convert a coded layout to work with wordpress it is by far the best.

You can also embed wordpress functions within an existing layout if you so wish:

    define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
    require('path/to/wp-blog-header.php');

Exactly what I've done on some of my sites when I wanted to keep the back-end all in one place with front-end in multiple places.

I'd recommend Wordpress. Wordpress is very flexible.

Wordpress is hands down, the best blogging platform, no point really looking into others, as Wordpress, well it simply blows them all away.

Hmm, I wasn't sure on Wordpress because I had no idea how to style it. But after what Jamesy said, I might consider it. Thanks all, +rep
