Basically I need to choose one so that, I can get familiar with it quickly and then customize it to my needs.
I’m a .NET developer and know classic ASP too. But I think understanding PHP will not be a problem for me and also think that it won’t be that difficult.
What will you like to recommend me?
UPDATE:-
Sorry that I’m adding this info late.
Right now I don’t know what customization I will be doing. But I’m sure going forward I will have my own requirement and will need to customize. So I don’t want to be in situation where I will have to say “This engine which I’m using will not allow me XYZ change or it will be too difficult for me to make XYZ change in this blogging software, so lets migrate to something else.”
I will prefer a short learning curve.
Go with WordPress. It’s easily customisable, and there’s masses and masses of information on customising it.
