Today I was scrapping my head for this !
Is there really any alternate for Wordpress blog and blogging ?
Probably not. Even if there exists some other blogging platform it could and would lack the discussion and development team.
Wordpress has its discussion and development team, but the users themselves are actors there. Most of the plugins developed for wordpress come from users and themes also come from pretty users.
But whereas in other blogging platforms this cannot be done, and nobody spends any time in exploring the other blogging platforms.
So, Wordpress has become Impeccable !
