Blogging Backcountry Skiing, Picking the Right Software

Well, that was a waste of time… The new server is working well and really is fully featured. Bluehost.com. appears to be a good company. Got started on an install of Movabletype blogging software, turns out it needs some stuff this fully featured server still doesn’t have, and is also built for the Firefox browser, even though most readers of this blog (and most other Blogs) are using Internet Explorer according to my stats. Ah yes, software, always such fun fun fun!

I actually like doing this blog with basic HTML (update: as we did for the first year or so then converted to blog software later). It’s super search engine friendly, easy to backup and archive, and easy to customize for look and feel. Blogging with basic HTML lacks some important (and not so important) blog features however, so I will be changing. Thus, back to the software search. Gotta get this done before the backcountry skiing season goes into full throttle!

So, if anyone out there has an opinion, here are the blogs that I can autoinstall on Bluehost for Wildsnow.com:

b2evolution

Nucleus

pMachine Free

WordPress

I’m inclined to go with WordPress, but will research the others before pulling the trigger (ah, reminds me of elk hunting). Please Email me if you have any opinions about any of these options.
