February 20th, 2008 Pivot And PivotX

I’ve been playing around with Pivot and PivotX today. I have to say, I really enjoy these two scripts quite a bit (they’re blog / CMS scripts).

PivotX being the newest version is in it’s third public alpha phase. Unfortunately that went a little crazy on my server (it’s an alpha, hello?) so I decided to try the original, Pivot.

I remember installing Pivot a long time ago back when my site was hosted at Icia’s domain, Saevus.net and I was so confused. I think it was the lack of experience and general knowledge in scripts that really did me in and made me switch to Cutenews (ew).

Trying Pivot now I was pleasantly surprised. It has a ton of features, most which I’ve grown to expect from a MySQL blog. What? Oh yes. Pivot is a PHP-only flat-file blog. It’s pretty damn amazing for a flat-file blog if you ask me. Very, very impressed with it.

When the first "gold" release of PivotX is released I’ll try that out. So far both versions are easy to customize (unlike a certain script I’m using now) and PivotX has a Pages feature plus a nice admin panel (Pages!).

Who knows I might switch to Pivot if I end up liking it that much.
