Tony,

If Scot already e-mailed this to you, sorry for the dupe.

His MacWorld blogging article is on newsstands, and an abridged form
(no sidebars, graphics etc etc) can be found at

http://www.macworld.com/2003/07/features/putweblogstowork/

Two really nice quotes:

"To help you find the system that best matches your needs, we examined
some important factors involved in buying decisions, and then we
applied them to seven of the top Weblog systems: Pyra Labs' Blogger
Pro, the open-source GeekLog 1.3.7, Lifli Software's iBlog 1.2.5, the
open-source LiveJournal, Six Apart's Movable Type 2.63, pMachine's
pMachine Pro 2.2.1, and UserLand Software's Radio 8.0. With the
exception of GeekLog (which is completely free) and Radio (which costs
$40 per year), all of these tools are available in free and paid
versions."

Nice this is in the first couple of paragraphs. The price may make up
some people's minds in the first 2 minutes! :)

"If building a thriving online community is your main priority, GeekLog
and LiveJournal offer the fullest set of collaborative features. Of the
two, GeekLog is more powerful and offers more features, but it also
requires more technical skill to operate."

I dunno if you have an OSX dev environment but it might be wise to
think about one. Here they come...

:)
