CMS: Textpattern

Killer Feature: Template system. Full customization power. Never could figure out Wordpress’ template system.

Let Down: No decent image gallery system yet. Some good ones as plugins, but all a pain to work with.

Features I’d like to add: Simple SIFR plugin.

CMS: Wordpress Hosted

Killer Feature: Quick install with everything a would-be blogger needs to get started.

Let Down: The ugly admin interface although plugins like spotmilk are gorgeous.

I Would like: Category icons and/or article images.

I think Wordpress is the better way to build a website or blog.

Carlos,

I wouldn’t necessarily agree that there’s a ‘better tool for building a blog’ - each has their merits and their flaws.The beauty of a well designed blog comes from the designer’s thoughts and ideas, what features they implement, how they arrange the content. It doesn’t come from the CMS in my view.

I have a related topic should someone see this. I’d like to ask the same question about CMS’s, but not to power blogs. I’d be interested to hear about CMS’s powering News sites, News sites that are larger in size and heavier in content than many blogs.

What does everyone think?

I’ve found Squarespace.com to be the best one for me. Mainly it’s because I don’t have the technical knowledge to get WordPress to look like I want it to.

Squarespace has some clean and professional design templates but also offers customizable options for those advanced users. I love it.

Plus, it puts every function at your fingertips and makes it easy and fast.
