Blogging options for PostgreSQL Lovers? Seriously, what's the deal with none of the blogging software working with postgresql? How hard is it to write a program that works with more then RMDB? Bleh.

Looked at any of the Rails options out there? Because of the Rails database model it's much easier to move from one underlying DB system to another.

Anyway, just a guess....

I assume they work with MySQL? Anything MySQL doe, pg can do.

Just grab an Open Sores package and modify it.

I've used typo with postgres. I'm not some sort of blogxpert though, so no idea if it's comparatively good software.

i'm proud to point out that my own now-nearly-extinct everlasting blort was hand coded in php (using notepad+) specifically to work with postgresql. that is all.

mosche: I don't have any experiance with blogging either, so typo should work for me. Havn't heard of it before, though. I'll try giving it a shot.

Movable Type supports MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL.

Why Wordpress doesn't support alternative database software (yet, tho there is a port).

Couple tools here and here.

And Drupal is database-independent.
