Can anyone recommend good blogging software that I can put on my server? I've seen a few out there and was just curious to know what you've tried, liked and disliked...?

I've had custom build software for a couple of years, last year or so i decided to give wordpress a try... It does all i want it to do... (But there may be people with other needs than me...)

WordPress for me. It is a very powerful piece of software. Not totally customizable just yet, but close. Templating is a but rough, as they built their app to run in a standards compliant markup scheme, but if you can swing CSS driven markup, you are golden. Two examples of mine...

I've never used Wordpress. I use Serendipity (
http://www.s9y.org ) for my personal blog. I have simple needs, but Serendipity is one of the easiest to manage and upgrade PHP apps I know of. It has tons of additional plugins for almost anything you need and excellent theme support. It's under the New BSD License.

Worpress. I've looked at many other systems but so far wordpress is it. Used it on more then 5 sites now, as simple weblogs to complete CMS. One thing I like about it is that it's all PHP. Also the templates are just neat clean (x)html/css with a few php functions to pull in the content.

It's taken from
http://www.oswd.org. There's more from the same author on there plus many other nice designs.

I know. I have all of Andreas' templates (and about 100 others) that I peak through all the time. They are great learning tools.
