Don’t get me wrong, I love WordPress – and use it in a lot of places but there are a lot of nice alternatives to WordPress too when you start looking around at scripts and services others are developing. Marie writes in with this CMS controversy.
“I am looking to setup another web site but I want to stay away from WordPress. Do you have any suggestions for other content management system or blogging scripts to try? Thanks!”
Just in case WordPress rubs you the wrong way or your just not happy with it – here are some of my favorite content management systems that are not WordPress.
- Drupal – found at Drupal.org, this is like WordPress on steroids. Lots of goodies and better membership system in place too.
- b2evolution – found at B2evolution.net is an old one, but still a good one – with tons of options.
- Joomla – found at Joomla.org might be too feature rich for the casual blogging fan – but a good engine for in depth web sites or basic blogs.
I used to suggest MovableType to people but over the past few years it just hasn’t been able to keep up with WordPress. Plus it is a ‘bit resource hungry and their license agreements are way too confusing for normal users.
To check and more and to get some demos of both the output and admin interfaces be sure to check out OpenSourceCMS.com. They have tons of examples from every corner of the blogging, CMS and forum world. One of the best database out there if you are looking for a better alternative to WordPress.
great choices. i do love wordpress but it is nice to go out and see what the others are doing to make sure you are using the best tool for the job you are doing.
I don’t know what rock you have been under but MT is open source so the license agreement you speak of is the same as wordpress. And without specific example I don’t see how you can say MT doesn’t keep up with wordpress.
Hello there,I’m a professional pianist and I’ve made a stupid principle that permits me to have a 10 minutes time out after a single hour of training. Now, each and every break I have to do something completely different, so normally I go to Google and look for the recommended last hour blog. It can be enjoyable to do anything diverse and to discover new stuff each and every day. By the way, today I am practicing. Vivaldi. Your website is good, I wish I could remain more time, but I must get back to play… The next time I’ll drop by again.
When I just recently found your blog page and started reading along, I was thinking Ishould write my very first remark. I don’t know just what to say other than I really enjoyed reading. Nice blog site. I am going to carry on browsing your site more frequently.

i find lots of useful information on this site,and thats great,please keep updating this site everyday.
Valuable info! can I use some of it in my blog?
I have to say, as much as I enjoyed reading what you had to convey, I couldnt help but lose interest after a while. Its as if you had a terrific grasp on the subject matter, but you didn’t remember to include your readers. Maybe you need to consider this from more than 1 direction. Or perhaps you should not generalise so very much. It’s better if you think about what others may have to say instead of just going for the gut reaction on the subject. Think of modifying your own thought procedure and giving other people who might read this the benefit of the doubt.
Good point! you re absolutely right.
