I just love wordpress, but i have to say that the best thing was when i started using Mambo. Also Joomla. You can have a blog look in this cms software. There are so many designs out there that you could easily use this cms and have a blog look with little or no fuss with a little change in the headers you can make it your own to suit your needs.
Wordpress rocks indeed, but Mambo - that rocks in seo dept and i get way more search engine hits using Mambo. if you want to check out my site its in my sig. my newest using Joomla (havent even started a real link trade with it yet its so new)

Maybe it's just a glitch (the search engine traffic).. maybe im spending more time on SEO than i did on my wordpress blogs some of those are super text heavy, but which ever it is, something is working differently, thought i would share
