Sleepin' Yet?

Blogging choices...

I think I am doomed...

At first, I knew about xanga. It was cool, I said. You can customize the skin and stuff. And it's easy to setup. But for the pretty look, I paid for the premium membership.

Then I tried blogger. I said, this is cooler! Google acquired blogspot, so now it's free, and it has almost all the features I liked from xanga. Oh, except there aren't as many skins out there for blogger than for xanga. But hey, it's free, what do you expect?

Then I decided to explore more. I need something with categories, like in Gizmodo, so I can browse through easier. I want something with different access level, like some posts can only be viewed by certain members. I had a fairly clear picture in mind in terms of what I would want.

Then I did some research on Google on alternatives. To my surprise, there are more than a dozen choices out there! A few I found that are most popular are: Movable Type, pMachine, b2evolution, WordPress, TypePad, Nuclues, etc.

This is overwhelming! I don't know if I want to try all of them before deciding, but now it seems that to make a critical and picky choice like I usually do, I HAVE TO try every single one..

*sigh.. Anybody already done comparison on them?

I found one website that comments on comparisons of some of them:
How To Blog

More reviews will come later, after I try some of them.

To be continued...

Update - more sites with reviews and comparisons:
