Binary Bonsai on Habari
After being one of the most famous WordPress-run blogs for what seems like forever, Binary Bonsai is making the switch to Habari. I downloaded the 0.5 release to test it out, and I was surprised with how far it’s come. I thought about switching over, but I don’t really maintain/care about this blog anymore, so I’m thinking it’s not worth the trouble.
As for Michael’s new theme, I just wish he’d bring back Freya, which is still one of my favorite blog designs.
Note: to view his old entries, just take off the /archives/200X/XX/XX/ prefix — so it’s just /slug.

I’d not heard of this blog engine before. It’s good to see that some new engines are coming out and seem to be getting some attention. I feel that eventually WordPress will be overtaken as the most popular blog platform due to their insistence on backwards compatibility. The WordPress code is some of the worst I have seem, breeding insecurity.

In that case I strongly recommend you try it out :).

I have been trying to weigh up the benefits of the different CMS, I use Wordpress on one of my blogs and am fairly happy with it. I want to migrate my Computer Maintenance and PC Repair website. Do you think Habari is a serious option ?

I think Habari is a serious option alright. Besides all the technical benefits it does have over any other blogging engine, you would find by your self that its community is just unmatchable ;)

Thanks Ali for your positive response. I have had a quick look at the implementation on your site. I think I will use habari for a while on another project I have been thinking about for a while and see how I get on. I don’t really want to run wordpress for some sites and habari for others, so guess I will have to decide soon. Good Luck.

Habari possesses some advantages in comparison with wordpress, these advantages however are how much serious?.

Sounds like its got a good chance of rivaling WordPress. Do you know if it used any sort of template engine?
