Windows blogs stink
At Sewell we are working on a tech blog that will allow us to provide better support and information to our customers. I really like the concept because it enables us to share more information with our customers (and anybody looking for advice on driver installations, hardware configurations, etc.), but we can do it in an informal atmosphere.
I didn’t realize how hard it was to find a Windows-based solution that was halfway decent. Sterling and I tried about eight different options before we called it quits. We’re just going to put it up on a linux machine and run wordpress (note: you can run wordpress on a windows machine if you install php and mysql, but we decided against it because microsoft does not “support” the configuration).
A lot of the blogs we looked at were decent, but they lacked really obvious features like the ability to have different users write posts and require approval on all user comments (which protects us from spam-comments). Also, the Windows blogs all feature a huge calendar showing posts by date - is this really important to people? I think it’s more annoying than anything. If anybody hears about any decent Windows blogging software, let me know, but for now I’ll stick with wordpress (which I love).
