On my main desktop computer, running Windows 2000 Professional, I set up a private blog where I can write notes intended primarily for myself. I'm using Blosxom as the blog software. I like it! Blosxom is as simple as it gets. I'm using IIS as the web server, and I had to make minor changes to the Perl source code to get Blosxom to work. And, I am using Blosxom to generate all static pages, instead of dynamic pages. There are plug-ins for Blosxom that are probably mandatory if you want a respectable weblog -- for example, if you want to allow posting of comments. All things considered, though, I think Blosxom is excellent software. It's simplicity means that it's easy to tinker with, which is great if you like to tinker. (I do.)
Blosxom is the third weblog software application that I have had significant experience with. The other two are Userland's Radio and GreyMatter. When I have more time, I really ought to write a review of these three software applications.
