Playing around...

I've spent the last hour researching different Blog applications and finally settling on this current application for the time being. This raises the question that should it be so hard to find a Blog web application that a customer can download (open source) and host it under their own provider? In the halcyon days of creating personal web applications it was possible to easily develop, vis-a-vis open source software, and maintain an application with a slew of hosting providers - I yearn for those days.
