9 WordPress Alternatives

No doubt that WordPress is the king of the hill when it comes to content management these days. It seems like in a lot of people’s eyes they can do no wrong. There have to a few other choices out there though right?

Now don’t get me wrong, I am totally happy with Wordpress - but, there are several cool alternatives that might be worth checking out for your next web project.

Drupal - Drupal is a little more of a WordPress on steroids. Lots of goodies and better membership system in place too.

AJAXPress - A little buggy by looking at the demo but will become a better idea once it has had more time to get polished.

Textpattern - Flexable and open source blogging solution - much of the same WordPress look and feel.

Serendipity - This is a PHP-powered weblog application which gives the user an easy way to maintain a weblog or even a complete homepage.

Joomla - Like Drupal, might be too feature rich for the casual blogging fan - but a good engine for in depth web sites or basic blogs.

b2evolution - An old one, but still a good one - and can hold it’s own weight still with the other selections out there.

Simplog - Simple, yet powerful - the name says it all here. You want basics without the fluff - go with Simplog.

Wikiblog - This one tries to mix the blogging and wiki sides of things into an interesting mashup of content creation.

Sblog - Another one similar to WordPress, looks like it is playing catchup too. Once it gets there though, might be worthy competition.

There you have it - nine other tools you can use to get your content published and your articles out there to the world. Have one I missed?

Thanks for sharing these links. I hadn’t heard of Wikiblog yet. I’ll certainly take a look at it.

I still believe Blogger to be a valid option. And I’m surprised that MovableType hasn’t made it into your list.

You list these as alternates to wordpress. But, have you ever considered the wide-spread plugin availabilty and themes for wordpress whilst building such a list?

They may be better coded, better looking, easier to use but unless they have a good supporting community behind them, they can be no alternates to wordpress.
:(
