Darren at ProBlogger has compiled a good list of blog tools:
A couple of months ago I asked readers to share which blogging tools they use the most in some of the following areas. The suggestions were a nice start but I’d like to see the list expand as I’m certain there are more blog tools and services out there.
Earlier this year, Darren wrote a good article on Choosing a Blog Platform. Rather than recommending a particular platforms, he goes through questions you should ask yourself before beginning a blog, such as, What are you goals? What is your budget? Your level of technological competence? Answering these questions should lead you to an appropriate platform. At the end of the article is a list of other readings on blogging platforms.
