Don't really use them because i have my own software, but i've had experience setting up WP and it looks pretty user friendly + has a good community so there are plenty of upgrade/plugins.

Having said that, i've heard that Movable Type is good for managing multiple blogs via one CP...

this is my first attempt ....... so far quite confused ?? i am having a bit more luck at wordpress ? i can at least write something ...... i did choose a theme and then after downloading to my computer and then uploading i recieved an email saying it must be reviewed ? this was the most popular one in the themes section , i dont know what i am doing ? maybe i'll work it out (doubt it) ....... oh no !!!!! and cheese me off the title comes up as 3d.com.au ....... the site address is 3-d.com.au , but i dont know how to change this yet

I just got lost at joomla

my attempted start just directs to their page 3dmail.com.au ......that's as far as i can go at this point

Hi Spacey,

I'm currently putting together a trial using Blogger at www.domainowners.com.au. The index page and a couple of others are HTML and the rest is Blogger, using the same theme set.

I've read that Wordpress is the best but I was too tight to pay Wordpress for custom themes, etc.

There are plenty of high quality FREE themes around for WP:

Hello DTP,

Thanks for the links. The cost I was referring to for WP was in using the templates eg; uploading the 'free' template to WP. If I'm using WP's free web hosting for my site then I have to pay a fee to use a custom theme. Alternatively, if I download WP to my own server then I'm carrying the cost in my own hosting. For 1 or 2 sites this isn't much but if your developing over 100 then small savings can add up.

When using Blogger's free hosting it's also free to use custom themes.

I'd love to be wrong, as I think WP is better so please let me know if there's a better way.

I have to say that when I realised your site was a blogger page Troy, it instantly lost credibility to me.

Host WP on your own hosting for a very small sum, use a custom template, and in no time you have a site that is credible and extremely simple yet functional.

I am still wondering if anyone had to wait after uploading a theme ??

above is where i found a theme ....... but i am still waiting for approval ?????

I am asking because i am wondering if i have done something wrong

it's been a day and i haven't heard from them ??? ...... is that usual ??
