  • Moveable Type (www.moveabletype.org)

    Movable Type is a widely-used proprietary weblog publishing system developed by California-based Six Apart. One of its most well-known features is TrackBack, which was introduced in version 2.2; it has since been adopted by a variety of other blog systems. Movable Type also supports most popular weblogging features, including user accounts, comments, categories, and themes, and is extensible through a large library of third-party plug-ins. Movable Type is free of charge for personal blogs with unlimited authors and blogs; paid support and commercial licenses, which allow more authors and weblogs on a single installation of the software, are also available.

  • b2evolution (www.b2evolution.net)

    b2evolution is a multi-lingual, multi-user, multi-blog publishing system written in PHP and backed by a MySQL database. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License and is available without charge.

  • Nucleus (www.nucleuscms.org)

    Nucleus CMS is open-source webblog management software written in PHP, with a MySQL backend, primarily written and maintained by Wouter Demuynck. It is used to manage frequently-updated Web content. With a little tweaking (mainly to skins) it might be considered a light content management system, although there is no facility to upload file types other than graphic files to be displayed within the blog pages. Nucleus makes use of a callback function which has led to a plugin system that has inspired somewhere in the order of 50 to 100 distinct plugins. The general drive within the development community is that functionality should exist as plugins as totally as possible. This philosophy has led to a relatively light and uncluttered base install.

  • pMachine Free (www.pmachine.com)
