So I am sure this topic has been beaten to death in this section, but I wanted to get the latest opinions out there, so pretty simple, what is the Best Free Blogging Software available these days?
I basically would like 4 main features...
Ability To Customize
Admin Interface
Allow People To Comment On Posts
The Ability to embed media (youtube, etc.)
Way back when I used to design websites, but that was a long time ago now, before CSS, Java, AJAX, and all of that stuff took the forefront. With that said, I am not totally lost with using these things, I am just not 100% capable either.
Basically the reason I am wondering this, is I have had a Domain name for awhile now I wanted to use. I already have the hosting, etc. etc., and I finally am motivated to start up a Blog.
So I know about Word Press, it is still a viable option for sure, but just wondering if there is anything better out there these days, the simpler the better, as this is not something I plan on doing all that often, just here and there, and I am more about clean and minimlastic design. I really want to the ability to customize it just to add my own logo, change the color scheme, perhaps play with layout, etc.
I do not need an option that also supports forums, etc. Just a simple old fashioned blog that allows people to also comment.
