MJD just talked about using Blosxom in his blog.

Possibly counterintuitively, he indicates that when he says "blosxom
sucks" he means it as a compliment. :-)

Long story short, he likes blosxom, but it is simple and limited by
design. He appears to be moving to Bryar.

Worth reading the long versions, though.
