I’ve been taking a look tonight at PivotX blogging software. It’s the successor of Pivot, which was a flatfile system I used here many years ago around 2002 before shifting to WordPress. PivotX is partly built with jQuery, Smarty, TinyMCE, PHP and MySQL. I’ve got no intention of abandoning WordPress, but it’s interesting to experiment with alternatives like sNews and PivotX. WordPress is such a large community now; there are so many themes and plugins to choose from. My first impressions of returning to PivotX are mostly positive.
