Investigating blogging software

Why not stick with the wiki?

I probably will for my own rough notes here on Wildsong.biz but I need something on http://GEO-CEG.org/

Mostly I want a format that allows me to develop ideas on pages that are not public and then publish them when they are ready to go.

Options

• hosted like "blogger" google again jeez cant get away from them
• roll my own, can you see where this is going

Okay, so it's roll-my-own

My requirements

Workflow management would be great

Database backed? Don't care, text only would be fine

Roles - would be good but not very important

Software

General reference on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog_software Dang! Wordpress is very popular. I think I will give it a try

These are available on Hostmonster making them very easy for me to test.
