Blogging software

[Travis Roy]

As much as I love running stuff on my own server, I have found 
livejournal to be fantastic. Mostly for features I can get from running 
my own, including:

friends list
sane commenting (threaded)
ability to block bad comments
friends only and private posts

that said:

http://freshmeat.net/projects/myjournal/
http://freshmeat.net/projects/microblogger/
http://freshmeat.net/projects/discloser/

all look good.
