Need an open source PHP Blog website.

[OM2]

I'd like to create a blogging website.
Nothing fancy... just wanna use a default template.

I thought there's be tons of open source projecs out there.

I've tried yahoo and sourceforge.net... but can't find anything?

I'm sure they must be out there!

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Do you not google?

http://www.google.ca/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=open+source+php+blog&meta=

[OM2]

no i dont, i yahoo. :)
for some reason i have it hard coded inside my brain: everytime i need to search its always yahoo.
i could swear i searched for open source blog and got no meaningful results.
(i did leave out the php though.)

[OM2]

actually: where are the nice looking blogs?
the results that i got there were all not so good looking blogs.
i'm after the ones with a subtle shadow around...
nothing special when you look at... but just 'feels' better!

You can't go wrong with WordPress.

erm... ok... i looked into that more... its the best i've seen for the php blogs.

but... i've seen loooads of other blogs that just look better!

[OM2]

hmm... just been playing around with wordpress... it's really really good!
i luv it.
i'm sure there'll be some nic looking templates for it.
(not saying that the default i sbad - it looks ok.)
thanks for the link!
