Basic Blog Software

[AndyF]

I'd like a stand-alone script of some kind for a basic Blog. Been looking around for a free Blog script, have tried WordPress yesterday, its ok but I was after something else really. I could not find a way to remove certain features easily (without chopping the code about, which I can do but would rather not as I'd have to redo it all with each upgrade)

 

I was actually just this moment considering not using a php script at all and simply making some nice static HTML pages, I thought once I had a nice "template" (header / footer etc), I could just add sections and pages to it as and when, but this seems to me I'd be going a little bit "too far"

 

Has anyone got any others they recommend I have a look at (as simple as possible ideally, I don't need fancy features or a full blown CMS or anything)
