I really do like pyblosxom. It's "good enough" for the basic stuff and what is not there can be coded given I have extra time to code it. That's the problem. I like a python based blog because it means I can enjoy enhancing it but sometimes you just want to blog, not write blogging software. The more I have to write, the less I'm actually blogging so I've been reluctantly looking for an alternative.
Enter movabletype. I loaded this up at work so I could keep a web based research journal. I was awed by how simple it was to setup and the amount of functionality provided right out of the box. This thing does its job and gets out of your way. So anyway, long story short, pyblosxom's out for a little while (until the community grows and development starts up again) and movabletype is in.
