Kirby

Kirby came to my attention about 6 months ago, and I'm just getting around to playing with it. I'm highly impressed with how easily it can be extended and customized.

By the time I'm done, I will have an extremely lightweight static-file based blog that syncs with Dropbox (and has a web-based control panel, if needed). The tutorials on the site are great to get you set-up. Highly recommended.

Kirby is very cool. I tried it out by converting my old blog to run with Kirby (I was using wok a static site generator). Kirby was a really nice blend of the things I like about static site generators with easy to integrate features like pagination, tag clouds, etc.

All that being said, I went with wordpress myself because it was braindead simple, full-featured, and easily extendable.
