Does anyone here use a Blog Script on their own site? With all of the Blog options out there where you can actually publish your entries directly on your server, is it even advantageous to use a Blog Script on your own site or is it fine just to use Blogger or one of the others?

Humbly,
Trevor Dean

I use Wordpress on all of my blogs. Aside from the fact that it lets you easily put articles and content on the server, it is optimized for search engines "out-of-the-box" and, using some plugins, which are very easy to install and manage, you can make a great optimized blog without too much hassle.

More, you have control over your database, you have way more control over the modifications of the script (later, you will feel the need to add more options to your blog, like integration with social bookmarking sites like Digg and Del.icio.us, tags for technorati.com and more).

I personally would never choose a solution where i depend on somebody else, especially if you are in it for the money :P

Do you mean blog software like WordPress or drupal? I'm confused by what exactly you mean by blog script.

I agree with Bobby . . . don't leave your eggs in someone else's basket.

If you don't have the money to host your own WordPress blog, then use Wordpress.com and get a blog. At least that way you can get familar with WordPress and know that the DB should port over just fine.

WordPress is the best blogging software out there. There are a ton of useful plugins out there to make WordPress do just about anything.

I only use WordPress for my blogs.

I would also like to recommend WordPress, I use it for all my blogs and I really like it.

It is easy and smooth to work in and with, and I have had no problems so far.

Wordpress is the way to go. Even if you don't know that much about PHP or CSS, it's not hard to use.

I use WordPress. There's no doubt in my mind that it's the best blog script out there. I would use it over any of the paid options without a doubt.
