Wordpress VS. Mephisto
// March 19th, 2009 // No Comments » // Announcement
Just setup my wordpress blog and it was super easy and a blast. Themes are plenty and most free! WooThemes.com has many awesome themes, although not free, this current theme I am using was!
The setup was no more then 5 minutes. Mephisto on the other hand required quite a bit and was not an easy install. I used to blog with Mephisto on my personal server from home, but having an awesome, flexiable blogging engine like wordpress I see no need to make things complicated. Granted, Mephisto, being a Rails application is wonderfull. In my humble opion, if you are someone that just wants to start blogging and don’t really have a computer science background, I say stick to Wordpress. They have many plugins and lots of wonderfull themes. If you want a little challenge and want a Rails blogging system and have lots of free time, maybe on a weekend, then installing Mephisto is a good experience to have under your belt.
