Exploring Different Blogging Platforms


WordPress isn’t the only publishing platform out there. There are many other solutions you can try depending on what type of blogging experience you want to have. Let’s take a look at some of the alternatives.

  • Jumbilo - Relatively new and unknown, Jumbilo offers ease-of-use over technicalities. If you want to try something different, Jumbilo is your best bet.
  • Joomla! - A very powerful blogging platform. Offers many different options for customization and has several unique features.
  • Habari Project - I’ve only heard about this recently, but it seems to be generating quite the buzz. It relies on a “community participation” model which makes it very different from most blogging platforms. Oh yeah, it’s open source.
  • Movable Type - A sophisticated approach to professional blogging. It isn’t ideal for personal blogs, but if you want to get serious, you have to shell out some dough to take advantage of this platform.
  • PivotX - Reliable is all I can say. PivotX is very solid and will only continue to improve over time.
