Ask YC: What Blogging Software do you use? • Hacker News Board

OurDoings (my own). It started out as a photo-sharing site, but it grew into blogging. It now integrates with Disqus for comments and Technorati for trackbacks. It also integrates with FriendFeed (ff) using a push system that automatically includes thumbnails of photos related to your posts. In this way it's better than letting ff pull from your blog's feed, because media RSS is not yet supported by ff.

I have used WordPress(.org) & MoveableType. Of the two WordPress is by far my favorite. The caching helps it scale nearly as well as MoveableType and there are a lot more themes, a ton of plugins, and a very active community to help with anything you need. Also WP is written with PHP and is a breeze to setup. MT is Perl and most people who aren't hackers tend to get scared away from the config files.

To be fair to MT, the recent versions have a nice setup wizard. It's still more trouble to install than WordPress, but there are far fewer instances where you're seeing configuration files in Movable Type these days. (But we use WordPress, anyway.)
