Robert, that’s great. I’ve been pondering use of wordpress for sure. Thanks for the info.

Yes, I think that ‘content production’ tools and spam issues are two big issues that need to be looked at… I’m really keen not to get too down into the feature ticking department though as that can quickly change and it’s more the philosophical underpinnings of the tools that I’m shooting at. Still, thanks again, much appreciated!

Marshall, I don’t know what you consider “very inexpensive” in blogging software, but I think WordPress easily fits that description.

The WordPress MultiUser (WPMU) review James will write, in his “Giving a Blog - Tools” series, will explain the pros/cons even better. I’m sure.

The MultiUser is Beta. But, it has a lot of promise.

WordPress is:

- opensource (free, except for the sweat equity),
- a $9.00/mo. (US) hosting account (and some are available for less),
- offers all of your requests re: “simple interface, WYSIWYG editor, easy access to the CSS, catagories and easy multi-service pinging”
- on a $9.00 (US) - or less - domain.

Is that inexpensive enough?

I said free above, but - is anything really free? No. Even your Blogger/Blogspot account has ‘costs’ associated with it - if only in time spent tweaking it. Let’s just say it is the easiest of the dozen+ or so I’ve setup/launched and tried out.
