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).
