Adieu Wordpress
Update: WordPress is now a thing of the past for me, too.
The gallery runs on Piwigo and the blog on Bludit.
Update January 2024: I'm giving Zenphoto another try!
Now that I've tried out various platforms for my blog, I'm going back to using WordPress for my blog pages.
In the past, I've looked into and used the following platforms:
- Bludit – a flat-file CMS
- GRAV – also a flat-file CMS
- Zenphoto – for your gallery and blog
None of the systems were bad; I actually found Zenphoto to work quite well with the gallery. Unfortunately, Zenphoto lacks modern themes.
WordPress Again
But since I wasn't 100 percent satisfied with any of the systems, I installed the latest version of WordPress—more or less just for fun. And lo and behold:
I got the hang of it right away and enjoyed all the features. From there, it wasn’t long before I decided to give WordPress another chance in the live environment as well.
Compared to Bludit and Grav in particular, WordPress makes my work and writing much easier. In short, it’s more convenient than flat-file CMS systems.
Of course, this is just my completely subjective opinion—there are probably plenty of other views on this.
In any case, I’m currently very satisfied with WordPress.
FlatFile CMS
If you only have a manageable number of articles, then I can wholeheartedly Grav recommend it. The core system is free, but there are so-called premium plugins that must be purchased.
By the way, Grav comes from the creators of the well-known caching plugin WPRocket.
Alternatively, I can highly recommend Bludit.
