Since the buzzwords of the day seem to be microblogging and lifestreaming, it seems like good, old-fashioned blogging is a thing of the past -- but it isn't. In fact, user-friendly blogging software applications have turned into full-blown content management systems (CMS) thanks to Web 2.0  technology.

Tried-and-true CMS options like Drupal and WordPress will always play a big part in the world of blogging, and do a great job of adapting to the changing needs of bloggers. If you're looking for an option that's new and fresh, however, Habari is an up and coming next-generation blogging package that's worth keeping an eye on.
