It’s a common practice starting a custom blog using one of the hundred CMS/CMF available out there. Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla are just the most popular names, and all of them share interesting features like:

• customizations through external modules;
• no programming skills required (at least for basic usage);
• a wide selection of themes;
• a large community ready to help.
