After having major, and unsolvable, problems with MovableType (MovableType was causing segfaults in Perl) for over half a year I finally switched to WordPress for hosting my blog.
I did consider SharePoint Server 2010 for hosting my blog, but the out-of-the-box support is nowhere near the possibilities with WordPress (or any other major blogging framework).
Configuration
After trying some themes, I settled for the Paperpunch Theme
by The Theme Foundry.
This is completed with the following plugins:
- Akismet
Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. - Google XML Sitemaps
This plugin will generate a special XML sitemap which will help search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask.com to better index your blog. - SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam
Adds CAPTCHA anti-spam methods to WordPress on the comment form, registration form, login, or all. This prevents spam from automated bots. - TweetMeme Retweet Button
Adds a button which easily lets you retweet your blog posts. - Twitter Widget Pro
A widget that properly handles twitter feeds, including @username, #hashtag, and link parsing. - WP Super Cache
Very fast caching plugin for WordPress.
If somebody has comments or suggestions, please let me now.
