Informatio:

Time to Pivot?

A few days ago I mentioned that I was checking out WordPress... Well, since then, I’ve discovered that there are literally hundreds of Open Source PPPs (Personal Publishing Platforms) and CMSs (Content Management Systems). Now, don’t get me wrong. WordPress is very impressive — and I still think it may be one of MovableType‘s main competition for Blogging tools.

But what if you are running your website from a server that has no (or little) database support? Or, what if you just don’t want to deal with the hassle of maintaining a MySQL database in the first place?

That’s where Pivot comes in. Pivot is a completely database-independent (i.e., it doesn’t use a database!) Weblogging system. It contains most of the features that one would look for in a Blogging tool. It is completely written in PHP. It is totally customizable. The user-base seems very enthusiastic.

For the meantime, I’m moving away from WordPress to check out Pivot for a while. I’ll let you know what happens.

Hey you should also check out blosxom (http://www.blosxom.com) – it’s pretty slick and database independant also.

best regards,
