Homebrew MLE with a difference. The advantage of using Blogging software like Radio Userland or the open source Python Desktop and Community servers is that they combine the personal ownership element of a desktop application with the universality of the web. This is quite literal: the Python Desktop server is a simple 'web desktop' that runs on your own machine, both on-line and off-line, and can be customised to do what you want, they way you want it. Once you're done blogging, your content can be synchronised to a community server that makes sure the stuff remains accessible to other people even if you're offline. Yet because it is all web-based, it is easy to integrate it with central content management servers using technologies like RSS with traceback or XML-RPC.
