Working on my website
So if I want a blog on my website, what program would you recommend? I need to be able to completely control the coding in the theme and I don't want to have to rewrite the program to get it to do things like, let me post snippets of html/css easily (which I recall as being a particular issue in wordpress).
Seems like a lot of the big name designers are using the newest versios of WordPress. It seemed easy to use when I was using it before, if you just wanted to post text, but not terribly good for posting css or for being able to reformat the templates without a TON of work. I suppose I could just rewrite the things it doesn't do the way I want them, but then I can't just apply security patches and whatnot. I also don't plan to put the whole site in the db as pages, but I want to be able to control the theme from one set of files. That's really the big issue for me. I don't want to maintain multiple theme files for the same parts of each page.
On the other hand, I'm seeing some sites that are a hell of a lot cleaner than the code I saw when I was using it a couple years ago and a lot of the people who do what I do but are better known for it seem to have done just fine with it.
And it's free. Always an important consideration.
