Wordpress
Another great piece of Open Source software. Also with alot of available templates.
Installable in a matter of a few minutes. The developers of Wordpress, Joomla, and all the other Apache/MySQL/PHP open source apps have really got the installation down well. After unpacking the zip and reading the instructions the wordpress blog was up on local host in a matter of a few minutes. I did have to go back and add a database for the package but that was it. I was then off looking for templates and found a treasure trove.
Check it out at wordpress.org, there are some cool built in features as well. The akismet tool to block spam I found has worked well for this blog. That being said, I am sure I will be targeted now.
Anyway, check it out. I love it.
If you do start using Wordpress, I suggest reading this article which explains how to format text in Wordpress!
