Anyone? My blog was running on Zope 2 for years. I was using COREBlog which made it really easy to set up out of the box. After hacking on the code for a while I decided to try to move to Zope 3. After playing with it for a few weeks I decided it was too complicated for a hobbiest to use. It's probably a great base for a commercial project, but not for my spare time. I ended up switching to Django. I really like how it tries to keep things clean. If you're looking at new platforms I would strongly suggesting reading the overview and trying out the tutorials. http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/overview/ http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial1/ http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial2/ http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial3/ http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial4/ Nate
