		<description>Moveable Type  and Life type are not good platforms. I wonder why did you choose them. No doubt WP is #1 as it contains various plugins to support.</description>

		<description>I respect this article.  It's good.  Well done putting WordPress at the top of the list and then Textpattern right under it.  You should know, however, that to say Textpattern doesn't have an online support community is very inaccurate.  Having used Textpattern extensively myself I can personally attest that Textpattern has a vibrant online support community.

I also find it odd that you would leave off Expression Engine seeing as their basic "blogging" package is free.  And I second the idea that you should have included Joomla.

Great article though.  Thanks for the contribution to the blogging community.</description>

		<description>Great post Speckyboy. I was not aware that there was so many good quality blogging platforms available to me. I do use a handful of Wordpress plugins myself so my only worry moving to another platform would be whether a similar plugin was available for it.</description>

		<description>What do you mean when you say "nice looking URLs are strange for a feature"?  Just that everyone now has non-parameterized URLs, so we should take that off the list?  It was probably a more interesting feature when it was first added 4 or 5 years ago.

&lt;strong&gt;Speckyboy&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;em&gt; All I meant was, that it wouldn't be something I would not put high up on my list of features for a Platform. I actually like this platform.&lt;/em&gt;</description>
