Nothing particularly useful will come from this post. So, if you’re looking for some hard facts or the latest news, this post is not for you. If not, read on.

I just have to ask: Do you ever get bored of blogging on the same blog software? Well, I do, and I’ve barely been blogging for months (and not many months I might add). Whether it is the all-powerful (and dominant) WordPress to the slightly out-of-favour Movable Type to the oft-praised community CMS, Drupal, I’ve found boringness seeping in.

So, my next blog will use Blog:CMS - a comprehensive blogging platform with certain CMS implementations, such as forums and wikis. Yeah, I’m not being very detailed here. Visit Blog:CMS to find out more.

Now, one reason why I find it so easy to switch blogging platforms is probably because there are quite a large number of blog software with all the essential features (or plugins) I require. The few include: categorisation, clean urls (primarily mod_rewrite support), feeds, trackbacking, anti-comment spam implementations, flexible templating through template tags, link lists, recent post and similar post listing. Of course, Adsense and Chitika modules - to make displaying in-post adverts almost work-free - and push-button plugin installations would help. Oh yeah, a strong user forum base would be nice…

I understand there are many who love the stability and familiarity that comes from using a single blog software - especially if the dream software has been found (for many, WordPress, I think). After all, why switch if you can do everything you want with the software you have? Moreover, plugin developers might very well want to stick with the software they are good at.

But, I’m sure there must be those like me, right? I can even think of one benefit of multi-software blogging: After the endless forays into the various software, open source or otherwise, you’ll probably appreciate your dream software even more.
