sorry I know you said not workpress but I sware by wordpress , its extremly powerfull with its template system and plugin system(how the plugin system works i disagree with but eh we'll leave that for another time shall we kids)
its also very easy to setup and install.
Ive tried quite a few other blogging systems which i cant for the sake of me remember the name of
which had their upsides and downsides like using smarty as a template system can be powerfull but not as powerfull as using direct php templates which is what wordpress uses.

and running a dev blog(which you pay for) which could possibley be exploited due to some error on your behalf sarlk , im not saying it will happen im saying it might.
but I dont understand how other people can vouch for sarlk blog if they have never used it , only seen it in action never looked "under the hood" or hell even posted with it (this excludes traxor and is mainly pointed at john anderson)
