Pretty steep price ($499 for this version, 1.0.1) for a product that has freeware counterparts out there. To name but one: MovableType (http://www.movabletype.org) is essentially a weblogger tool but can be used as a full-blown CMS. MT is based on Perl and can use either MySQL or BerkeleyDB. Runs equally well on MacOS X, MacOS X Server, Linux, Windows, UNIX -- like the Beatles once sang, "All you need is Perl". You can have it run multiple 'blogs', with multiple authors, unlimited categories, commenting system (which can be misused to be a guestbook, for instance), TrackBack, it sports the XML-RPC API and has a plugin feature. Excellent support through user-driven forum. Lively user community. And still a free lunch. Just thought you'd like to know.
