try out Typo, the Rails-based weblogging engine

But just launched a few days ago at http://www.chuq.org/blog

Although there are a few features missing compared to Wordpress and MovableType, the dynamic search capability and comments posting is just awesome. Typo’s a relatively young project, so the web administration interface is spartan but coming along nicely. It’s fully compatible with any rich client that supports MT or metaWeblog, so I think BloGTK will serve all of my needs until the web interface fleshes out. Tomorrow I’ll check out the Wordpress converter. If all goes well, I may decide to migrate the rest of the blogs I host and remove MySQL (Wordpress is the only application I have that uses a MySQL backend, the rest I have configured for PostgreSQL 8.0).
