A Short Intro
Like I said in my first post, I’m not new to blogging. I started my first blog on July 11,2004, using Blogger. Since then, I’ve tried several blog and CMS (Content Management System) software in order to find THE perfect blogging platform.
I came to the conclusion that the majority of the Open Source Software leaves much to be desired. Geeklog was the worst, with Drupal coming in second, and Xoops third. I wound up venturing over to WordPress, which I use for my blogazines. You’ll find the links in the sidebar.
I’ve also used a blog to write the first draft of God’s Last Twilight. Writing a book on a blog was quite a challenge, but it was fun. I’m writing the second draft here.
That’s all for now.

I wonder if you have any concrete points on why you judge those CMS as being so bad.

First of all, starting blog on July 11 last year doesn’t mean you are not new. Geeklog has more features than a person can take full advantage of in a year. If you judge it based on blogging, so be it, because Geeklog is more than a blog. However, you said it as if Geeklog was the worst among open source CMS, that’s not a fair judgement even from a none technical person. It makes me doubt your ability to write about a much more deeper matter, God, after seeing you make such a judgement so irresponsibily. Just want to let you know that there are other followers of Jesus Christ using Geeklog happily. We should all be careful with our words, especially if we are to write about God.

Evidently, I’ve started a flame war. All I was doing was posting my experience with Geeklog. I am entitled to my opinion, folks. Not everyone loves Geeklog. Not everyone loves WordPress or Movable Type. Get over it.
Rocky, where did you find a reference to God in my postings?? I wish you the best with your relationships with Geeklog and Jesus Christ.

Wow, could we have a combination flame and holy war brought on by a discussion of opensource software. That would be a bit much.
I am a big user of Geeklog, I have over 15 sites for clients, running GL as the backend, and I have to agree that it is a very different tool than Wordpress. Best tool for the job, is what I say.
I hope that the fans of Geeklog and/or God do not get out of control on this one.

I would have to agree, Andrew. The direction this discussion took got to be a bit much. I’ve checked out your site and saw what you’ve done with Geeklog. Very nice.
