Hello everybody,
I was wondering what blogging software I should use. The purpose of my blog will be a showcase of my work, articles about projects, tips and tricks and so on..
I know there's google Blogger web app, there's wordpress that I can host on my own hosting provider or directly as a hosted free solution.
I would need to embed some flash in the content as a lot of my work involves actionscripting.
Let the advice roll :)

i'd recommend wordpress + hosting.
i'm a hostgator reseller, so if you want good hosting, i'm your man :)
arithma
Ah thanks but am already on rackspace cloud and godaddy for most my projects
Anyway,

so you guys are flash specialists? i had a look at jizi interiors, nicely designed.
arithma
We are experts in flash, but we're not in anyway confined to that.
We also do enterprise systems and engineering solutions regardless of technology.

Sorry for not replying earlier, I didn't think i saw it before.
but as someone pointed out , self hosting your wordpress is a good choice.
There are many free really good quality wordpress themes out there and You can also choose a nice premium one if you want something that is not widespread on the web.
With plugins and stuff like jQuery, you can make a lot of features for your portfolio.
If you need any help installing , configuring, finding a theme, let me know. You will owe me coffee in exchange :P
arithma
How about a coffee either way then :)?
pikatore
i build themes by the way, if you are looking for something very custom made

I'm looking for a nice tutorial on building WP themes. It should cover the technical aspect (I already know some HTML/PHP) but also tips and hints on how to make a good design.
Do you know any?
pikatore
I highly recommend wpdesigner.com
mir
you owe me coffee is a joke and a way of saying you owe me one and i don't want your money.
rahmu.. u can start by using those blank templates
guys, do you want to do a workshop for building wordpress templates ? with focus on arabic stuff maybe ?
would be nice if each can do a small research, then we get together and then speed up our learning process by building a test project
arithma
@mir: I got it when you said it. I was inviting you over for a coffee still. Everyone's invited to join, I am paying out for two though.

@mir , the website for lix is going up soon , highly reliant on Word-press and done by a generous offer from pikatore and hosted by nuclearcat , im guessing we need an Arabic part in the website for sure , so a workshop like that would be cool :) unless of course pikatore knows how to implement Arabic in some sort of CMS ........
pikatore
yes, wordpress is highly configurable when it comes to languages, piece of cake.
