Changes ahead

Sometime this spring, probably in April, I plan to install different software for my weblogs. I've noticed that WordPress is popular. Are there others worth considering?

Minimum requirements:
--Reasonably easy to use, with clear, concise documentation
--Plays nicely with Macintosh
--Actively supported by its developer
--Technical help easily available
--Supports multiple weblogs
--Inexpensive; preferably free
--Extremely spam-resistant

The last item is critical. The anti-spam mechanism used by my current weblog software no longer is effective, and I've disabled comments to preserve my sanity. The software is no longer supported by the developer, and I don't particularly want to pay for an upgrade that may well have the same problem.

I'll probably move my weblogs to a different hosting service as well. Suggestions are welcome.

Until yesterday, I would have recommended leaving advice in the comments, but that's not possible now. Don't hesitate to email me. (Please put the word "weblog" in the heading so I don't mistake your email for spam.)
