Yeah, I heard the smarty engine was pretty bad. I like the way WordPress does things. You just have to insert the appropriate PHP tags where you want them.

Well, it is pretty complicated if you are new.

I was completely new to the SMARTY engine before this. I had never checked it out. When I installed bBlog, I picked it up right away as the structure is very similar to PHP, very logical, and easy to learn.

You don't have to customise everything and go as far as I did, you can pretty much just change around the existing templates.

i use blogger. its owned by google, so its always up, and its ridiculously simple, but allows you to do hard things. the template is completely editable, and its all simple HTML-like tags. i higly recomend it

I used to use blogger. But I don't like not having control over everything. Also, WordPress is a lot more dynamic. You can create special archives, categories, etc.

I prefer knowing where my entries are too!

(Oh, and I didn't like Blogger FTPing into my server)

i'm loving the smarty engine of bblog... the default skin is kinda annoyingly dependent on <divs> but it wasn't too hard to get how i wanted... my blog is now up at http://www.big-blue-fish.com/lobsterpot

Lol, it's just the only blog from somebody here, and one of the things I checked when I first visited is which cms you used, but I'm not a fan of it or anything. I have 47 rss feeds in my aggregator, you are not the only one ;)

So is Smarty crappy? I was going to implement it in a project (well, not just me, a real programmer :P). Are there any better template engines?
