Weblog Tool Roundup
While my personal blog tool of choice is MovableType, this article, The Weblog Tool Roundup, offers up an interesting review of other options out there. (Via Meryl’s Notes, a great resource of many things!)

For lack of sounding like a Spice Girl, “I tell you what I want…what I really really want…”
…is a fully-featured CMS with entries in database format. No rebuilding — something honest-to-God, truly dynamic. The raw text for my cat.net entries is teetering close to nine megs, and no matter how you slice it, that’s a horrific rebuilding job.
Good thing I have a DIY mentality. (Sigh.)

So is there anything out there that’s close to that, Amy? (you are still using GM, right?) I haven’t tried any php blogging solutions, but it seems like that would cut out rebuilding… A php system seems like it wouldn’t give the same control over config with multiple authors without a lot of setup, but maybe…
DIY - do it yourself?

You’re right — there isn’t an existing solution. If there was, I would convert in a heartbeat. The only thing I’ve come up with that satisfies my needs is a combination of PHP and mySQL.
So yeah, that might explain why my recent little projects for cat.net have involved PHP, mySQL, forms/cookie handling, and now session IDs… I’m building up a codebase to work from.
Frustration and necessity: the mothers of all coding binges.

have you taken a look at pMachine yet? I don’t know if this is something that would satisfy your needs, but it certainly looks promising. I’ve heard a lot of positive stuff about it from some of my German blogger colleagues =)
And yeah, I learned about Nucleus today, yet another choice.
