If you're talking about blogging CMS, WordPress is the first option that may come in your mind. There are several good alternatives that offer quite robust and feature-packed blogging engine. One of them is PivotX, which is an open-source, free and powerful blog content management system. It has an active developer community that regularly updates its core adding new features with each subsequent release. Let's see some of the features which makes it one of the contenders for good blogging CMS.
Dual database storage option - Generally, popular blogging CMS use MySQL for storing the data. PivotX is quite different and can use either MySQL or flat files for the data storage. During installation you can opt for one of the data storage mechanism.
Multi-site & multi-language support - You can easily create unlimited number of blogs from a single PivotX installation. Each blog can have different themes, extensions, language and system settings. This truly makes it a powerful multi-site blogging platform.
Large collection of themes & plugins - Like other popular blogging CMS, PivotX also enjoys large number of themes and useful plugins to easily extend the functionality of the entire system. You can browse through various categories to find the required extension that deliver the results as per your requirements.
In-built spam protection - Unlike other blogging platforms that generally require a plugin to effectively combat spam, PivotX has been developed with a native anti-spam system. This not only makes your blog safe from spammers the moment you install it, but it also reduces the burden of one extra plugin.
Multi-user & access matrix support - With PivotX, multiple users can easily work on a single blog with different level of privileges. This ensures that each person is granted adequate rights to perform various tasks on the blog.
Powerful rich-text editor - This is the heart of any blogging CMS and is mostly used by an average user. Fortunately, PivotX has a user-friendly text editor that works in two modes, viz., HTML mode (for power users) and WYSIWYG mode. The latter mode is good for technically challenged that makes embedding multimedia elements (image, audio, video) very easy.
