Which blog script to choose

[asdfqwer]

Hello everyone,

I am about adding blog part to my website
Can anyone please suggest which blog software its best to choose Wordpress or Movabletype or some other ?

[Hentaikid]

Wordpress is pretty neat. I have a dozen on dreamhost, since they include a one click install and upgrade in their control panel. Has a ton of plugins and is very customizable too.

I'm currently customizing my site with one

and it's pretty easy even though I'm not a techie type.

Your blog looks clean

More opinions ?

i second wordpress, or you could use moveable type, but i still say wordpress...

[asdfqwer]

I see more websites using wordpress than movabletype but maybe its because wordpress is free ?

[divinity]

wordpress is free and has a lot of useful plugins

[Hentaikid]

Free and open source aren't quite the same concept, I've bought and used scripts before, but open source has it's own advantages.

Does anyone know if linkback to thir websiet is required or can be removed for some fee ?

[The Hotness]

i personally like wordpress

[Hentaikid]

Linkback to wordpress? No, just remove it from the template and carry on. It's only required if you're running one on their hosting at wordpress.com

wordpressw is the bomb man.

[PussyTeenies]

anyone have a nice plugin for wordpress or pivot
that gives me the option to make custom/resize images from uploaded images
not just thumbs.. but neat resized images

[Hentaikid]

You can find a list of plugins at codex.wordpress.org maybe photopress will work, you can specify the thumbnai size. Also, the gallery2 script can be incorporated into wordpress via another plugin, and it has enormous amount of features, so I'm sure it'll let you resize at will
