The Bivings Group Loves Wordpress

Todd Ziegler of the Bivings Group has posted about his top 5 blogging tools. What is number 1? You guessed it: Wordpress.

Says Ziegler:

Wordpress is the best blogging platform for my money because it is easy to use, full featured and completely open source (free!).  Make sure to install Akismet to help with comment spam and WP-Cache to help deal with the Slashdot/Digg/Fark affect.  Do those two things and you are golden.

This is right in line with what Steve saw in the Google Trends report about Wordpress surging in terms of queries and popularity.

I’m also right in line with Todd when it comes to Feedburner and MyBlogLog. Both tools are great for improving service to your community.

I guess I’ll have to check out some of the other services he recommends as well. Has anyone played with Clicky? What do you think about it?
