TextPattern, the Perfect Wordpress Alternative – 15 Beautiful TextPattern Free Themes
Textpattern is a free and open source blogging (not limited to) content management system, written in PHP using a MySQL database, and with its own dedicated community is a flourishing and perhaps unappreciated blogging platform.
If you find that Wordpress is a little overblown for your current project, why not give Textpattern a try. Installation is easy, you can design a unique template or theme in a snap, and it will manage all your posts, pages and rich media as well as any other blogging CMS. If you want that traditional blogging feel back, go with Textpattern.
