Revise Media offers hosted Wordpress installs with IMAP email accounts starting from $5/yr. Slightly more control than with a Livejournal or Blogger account without the responsibility of maintaining the software yourself.

Plume

Plume is an actual content management system rather than blogging software. Installation is almost as fast and easy as Wordpress and the interface is very nice.

It comes with 2 pre-built content types: News and Articles. The News is for single page content, while the Articles are for multiple pages. Both can be put into multiple categories with a Home Page category automatically listed on the site’s index.

When creating a category, you have the option of selecting a template (plume/manager/templates/default) to associate with it. You can create new templates and have them listed automatically by putting “category_” in front of the name. The template tags look like Wordpress’, which look like PHP. Documentation of the tags is available at the Sourceforge site.

Phorm: PHP Form Processor
horm is (at the risk of repeating myself) the most flexible and powerful general-purpose form processing program available. With Phorm you can perform any of the following actions with your form data:

Include it in an acknowledgement page for the visitor

Send it to an email address, or a number of email addresses.

Validate it against a sophisticated set of criteria

Include it in an autoresponder message to the visitor

Log it to a text file

Log it to a MySQL database

WordPress Hosting

WordPress-Hosting.com offers really good deals ($5/month) on hosting with the cms pre-installed for you.

I use Wordpress on this site and I love it. The second 1.3 comes out with multi-blog support I’m planning to convert my other site to it too.

With a 30-day money-back guarantee I would definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to start a site under their own domain.

opensourceCMS

I was sure I had posted this before but I can’t find it now. Content management systems (CMSs) are almost required for managing a website if it has any size and is updated regularly at all.

opensourceCMS is a site that allows you to try a number of free, open-source systems without having to install them on your own server first.

htAccess Generater

.htaccess files let you set directory specific options on your Apache webserver. It’s very powerful but not the easiest thing to figure out on your own. htAccess Generater lets you set variables in a form, then creates the actual file for you.

TextDrive

TextDrive …support[s] free, open-source publishing applications

Their low-end plan is $5/month or $60/year for

100 mb disk space
1 gigabyte bandwidth per month
1 domain hosted
Up to 3 MySQL databases

along with php, IMAP mail and other goodies.

Right now, though, through 24 June 2004, they’re offering: 200 megabytes storage, 2 gigabytes monthly bandwidth, up to 3 top-level domains hosted, 6 MySQL databases, and all of TextDrive’s great standard features, for a one-time payment of US $199.

Did I mention they accept Paypal?

It’s not a bad deal.
