I need a blogging software program that will allow publishing to the site
without the need for a username/password deal. No, I am not signing up to wordpress. This is why I have my own domain. Several that I have looked at all require you to have a username and password to create a blog. Blogdesk, when creating a new blog, insists that you signup for wordpress before you can continue. Bull****. Is there any software out there that does not require a username and password to publish? |

I'd expect any serious software of this sort to require a username/ password, or what's to stop me posting any old rubbish under your name? I could be wrong, of course, but I'd not trust any solution that didn't make at least rudimentary security checks. -- Tciao for Now! John. |

Blogdesk absolutely insists that you have an account with one of the blogging domains they list. If you don't, you're **** out of luck. [sarcasm] I think it's a conspiracy that the software writers are getting kickbacks from these people. You list our site, we'll donate to your cause. Of course, I could always do the work myself using a standard html editor. |

Bull****. Is there any software out there that does not require a username and password to publish? you're wrong about wordpress I think. When you sign up here https://en.wordpress.com/signup/ it lets you pick any unassigned domain you want either at *.wordpress.com or *.net or *.me or *.com or *.org for your blog. Anything other than *.wordpress.com invokes a small fee. But since you already have your own domain WP can't assign one for you. Too bad. and if you don't want authentication to post your blog, then anyone on the web can post to it and deface your site at will. Lots of luck with that! (mostly of the bad kind - just being a realist). |

You can't post to any website, blog or otherwise, without knowing the username and password of that site. So what's the difference? The difference is, my domain isn't one of those high profile blogging for idiots sites. |

Okay, #1: You don't "sign up" for Wordpress, its a package of php scripts you install on your own server. #2: You can allow anonymous posting on just about any blog/CMS scripting package. #3: You are in over your head, but just for kicks I'll recommend Joomla for you. http://www.joomla.org/ - good luck. |

You download it he http://wordpress.org/download/ then edit the configuration file, then upload to your own site. Zip file: http://wordpress.org/latest.zip |

For the self-hosted kind you buy it, No, you don't. "The license under which the WordPress software is released is the GPLv2 (or later) from the Free Software Foundation. A copy of the license is included with every copy of WordPress, but you can also read the text of the license here." |

For the self-hosted kind you buy it, and install it on your own host, and set it up as you like. You can find it at wordpress.org (not .com). Well you are wrong on the "buy it". I found on my hosted site that I could get it for free. All I did was click a couple of times, told it where to install and five minutes later the blogware was on my site. |

Every bit of what I do with it is hosted on my site, not their's. |

All CMS packages are free to download install and use them on your own server or at your hosts using your own domain.
