   Regarding Pivot, if it doesn't use SQL how does it store all the  
data? Does it cope well with blogs that have several hundred entries  
or does it start to creak when adding new entries? I've just had a  
look at the sites above and it looks like it might be pretty good.  
I'm not really a PHP person though so I hope it doesn't require much  
tweaking to get it running.

Currently I've got a fairly old version of Movable Type that's been  
hacked around to try and prevent comment-spam and I seem to have been  
fairly successful at blocking spammers over the last month.
