Well, this post has really minimized a huge list of Blog CMS in my front to some that can be counter on my fingers..
Thankyou verymuch sir,
I like wordpress the most. Text pattern not much.
Currently I am trying out MT.
Personally, I really like WordPress. So many plugins are available to really make your blog soar.
The free WordPress service at wordpress.com is great but has some limitations. For example, if you are into monetizing your blogs, you will have a hard time here.
For my WordPress blogs, I choose to host them myself simply for the freedom it offers.
