blog software

[richard]

I need a blogging software program that will allow publishing to the site
without the need for a username/password deal.

No, I am not signing up to wordpress. This is why I have my own domain.
Several that I have looked at all require you to have a username and
password to create a blog.

Blogdesk, when creating a new blog, insists that you signup for wordpress
before you can continue.

Bullshit.

Is there any software out there that does not require a username and
password to publish?

I'd expect any serious software of this sort to require a username/
password, or what's to stop me posting any old rubbish under your name?

I could be wrong, of course, but I'd not trust any solution that didn't
make at least rudimentary security checks.

you're wrong about wordpress I think. When you sign up here
https://en.wordpress.com/signup/ it lets you pick any unassigned domain
you want either at *.wordpress.com or *.net or *.me or *.com or *.org
for your blog. Anything other than *.wordpress.com invokes a small fee.
But since you already have your own domain WP can't assign one for you.
Too bad. and if you don't want authentication to post your blog, then
anyone on the web can post to it and deface your site at will. Lots of
luck with that! (mostly of the bad kind - just being a realist).

All I want to do is to use the software.
I am not signing up to any 3rd party account for nuthin.

You can't post to any website, blog or otherwise, without knowing the
username and password of that site. So what's the difference? The
difference is, my domain isn't one of those high profile blogging for
idiots sites.

Wow..

Okay,

#1: You don't "sign up" for Wordpress, its a package of php scripts you
install on your own server.

#2: You can allow anonymous posting on just about any blog/CMS scripting
package.

#3: You are in over your head, but just for kicks I'll recommend Joomla
for you. http://www.joomla.org/ - good luck.

Why should I pay them when I can do it for free?

#1 is wrong. You use their space on their server.

 

[G. Morgan]

Joomla is free.

#1 is wrong. You use their space on their server.

Bullshit, Bullis. You download it here: http://wordpress.org/download/
then edit the configuration file, then upload to your own site.

Zip file:
http://wordpress.org/latest.zip

You're in way over your head bullis.

 

[Evan Platt]

Of course, I could always do the work myself using a standard html editor.

Then why don't you do that, and stop using 24hoursupport.helpdesk as
your blog?

Wordpress comes in two varieties -- hosted by wordpress.com, or self-hosted.

For the self-hosted kind you buy it, and install it on your own host, and set
it up as you like.

You can find it at wordpress.org (not .com).

And you want this software to run on Windows 7?

No, you don't.

"The license under which the WordPress software is released is the GPLv2
(or later) from the Free Software Foundation. A copy of the license is
included with every copy of WordPress, but you can also read the text of
the license here."

No, you don't.

The wordpress software is FSF/GPL, the self-hosted site names come with
a fee. They all do.

Well you are wrong on the "buy it".
I found on my hosted site that I could get it for free.
All I did was click a couple of times, told it where to install and five
minutes later the blogware was on my site.

I stand corrected. It is free. I got it through my host's control panel.
Every bit of what I do with it is hosted on my site, not their's.

So are you still objecting to it?

 

[Evan Platt]

It's called a volume license or site license. Look into it.
