Mango Blog works quite well and can import all your posts from WordPress, I haven’t used WordPress so I am not sure what the feature comparrison is like though, but may be worth checking out…

Nice post. This is a good counterpoint to the “but its not free” argument.

I also second the Mango Blog recommendation. It’s not quite WordPress (yet) but it does have a lot of WordPress-like features including easy to install plugins, auto-updating of the engine and very flexible templating system.

I wouldn’t say this is a valid point of CF over PHP. almost any language you try you are going to eventually hit walls. I would say this is more of a wordpress and hosting company issue rather than a PHP one.

The amount of out of the box apps like wordpress, joomla, phpBB, mediaWiki e.t.c is just amazing. With hosting providers like bluehost, you just click a button and it automatically creates database, install files, and provide default configuration. less than 5 secs.

I have started coding coldfusion for a while, and coming from PHP background, where almost every small script you are trying to write, you are sure that some code snippet might be existing somewhere, google and you find it.

in the coldfusion world, its kinda hard to find help, not many users share their code openly, and coldfusion doesn’t have a big community as PHP. on the otherside i would defo agree that their is some awesome tags in coldfusion like cfpdfform , cfexchange e.t.c that makes your life piss easy, however I just find the price of coldfusion a bit high than it should be.
