Documentation- PerlBlog vs our competitors

Why choose PerlBlog over its competitors in the CGI/Perl world?

Let's see why with a few examples:

Unlike blosxom, PerlBlog does not compromise quality for size. While blosxom will require you to upload your entry as a simple text file, think of the necessity to use FTP. A difficult task when you're away from home. PerlBlog offers an integrated journal entry system, complete with its own quicktags support, facilitating the process, wherever you are.

My Blog, released by Fuzzmonkey.com seems appealing enough. However, the extent to which one can customise it is very limited unless you know your CGI well. PerlBlog offers a multitude of customizing capabilities, one that doesn't limit you to the script. Put your sidebar on the left, on the right, wider, or thinner, its all up to you. Change the color, the text, it's like Lego and color-by-numbers. We give you the pieces and the instructions-- its up to you to make it as personal as you want.

Intelliscript.net's BLOG stands between Bloxsom and the web browser, allowing you to post on the fly, without FTP, except it costs $6.95. PerlBlog is completely free. Moreover, since it is licenced under GPL, developpers can modify it and come up with even better versions.

BW-Blog is simple and straightforward but "doesn't yet have an archive viewer". PerlBlog incorportates archiving automatically, so that each post is easily retrieved by month, and the page is easily accessible from the main site.

I don't think you'd be willing to dish out $49 for a blogging system either, would you? Plus, PerlBlog accomplishes much of what csBlog does.
