Are you wanting to find a weblog or CMS system that is user friendly and easy to use out of the box? Well, the people behind Zomplog describe themselves as being focused at helping you with publishing your content rather than learning a lot of code.
As far as free blogging scripts go, Zomplog appears to have all the bells and whistles. It is highly extendable, and tons of great features. Here is a little more from the developers:
Just because Zomplog is easy to use, that doesn’t mean it only lets you do basic things! Zomplog supports static content, or pages, if you like. This way you can easily use zomplog as an simple content management system! Want to be a broadcaster? Zomplog lets you create podcasts or video podcasts (vodcasts) on the fly! Just upload, and everything else is taken care of!
Sounds great, right? The only big problem I had with them was I could find no install guide via their web site. I had to download the the script, and then hunt through the files in there for one called “read me”. I did finally find it, however it was a lot of work. Nothing too surprising in there, setup the script, your databases and you are good to go.
There are a number of various themes and plugins to check out too, to help you mold your Zomplog powered blog to something you can use or that you need. If you are the type of person who likes to play with a script before you install it, you can have a look around at the interface on the demo hosted by OpenSourceCMS.com.
Zomplog is another fine blogging script alternative worth checking out.
If you are in the search for a PHP-powered blogging application that gives you an easy gateway into running a blog, online diary or even a complete web page - Serendipity is a free script worth checking out.

Here is a little more about the blogging script from the developers:

Looking at more blogging script alternatives, I ran across one that promises to be, “next-generation blogging.”. I don’t even know what that means, but I do have to admit Habari has a bright future in t-shirt slogans if nothing else.
Habari is being written with a firm understanding of the current state of blogging. Most other blogging packages have been around long enough that their responses to things like comment spam and Digg site overloads are bolted on after the fact; whereas Habari is being written from the beginning to take these things — and more — into account.
Here is some video of it in action. You can check out the official site for a few more screenshots too.
Download Habari, and give it a shot. If you run into any issues, you might double check with your web host that all the requirements are met. The only bad side is they have some pretty oddball must-haves in there.
As far as flash Web hosting tutorials go, there are two ways you can go. You can go with DemoDemo or you can go with DemoWolf. I have talked with both companies, and they are both run by pretty nice guys.
Lately, the folks at DemoWolf have been a lot better at getting attention. DemoWolf has just released a new series of tutorials for Virtuozzo Power Panel for Windows. This new series is a 13-tutorial set that shows customers how to use the popular VPS control panel by SW-Soft.
