    Blogware is such an unfortunate word to use - other then the generic category, it’s also the name of a specific product by Tucows, and as such a BlogSmith competitor.
    It does not have a brand comparable to Typepad and WordPress ..etc, largely because I think Tucows scr*wed up their branding: they let resellers use their own brand name. So I am a happy blogware user, but it’s really known as BlogHarbor, the reseller.
