Don't Know How to Install Blog Software?

Blogs & CMSs
If you don't know how to install blog software, but would like to have your own site and domain, looks like there's no need to be limited to TypePad. I've pointed people previously to OpenSourceHosts, who runs opensourceCMS, because they will install an open source cms for free. The few people I know using it have had a good experience.

However, I just stumbled on bloghosts which seems to go one better. They have a web-based application, Fantastico DeLuxe, which will let the site owner install a wide variety of open source software. Looks like it might be fun for anyone interested in playing with Drupal, PostNuke, B2, pMachine, Nucleus and many other open source apps. Pricing looks good, too.

Too bad our institutions haven't installed Fantastico DeLuxe on their servers for us to use.
