I do like having my own "brand" online - the jdhunt domain, so I'm not certain I would go into any of the free options. Unless I want to really rant and stir the pot. I actually was just over at the Graffiti site on codeplex, I may take some time over the break and play with the source code. It looks like routing is part of the source code. For all the bitchin' going on at the Graffiti Support forums, I have had few complaints. Looks like we could use a rich textbox for comments though... Yeah, there are multiple options.

Subtext does have it’s problems, but it also is a “blog only” engine. The blog title thing is a problem, I’m guessing it is a unique index in the DB. They should have made it a multi-field unique index – using the date AND the post title. If I cared more I would look into it.

I’ve thought about trying out GraffitiCMS – perhaps create a third level domain for fun just to give it a whirl. I’ll let you know if I go forth with it.
