Weblog software (also called blogging software or blogware) is software designed to simplify the creation and maintenance of weblogs. As specialized content management systems, weblog applications support the authoring, editing, and publishing of blog posts and comments, with special functions for image management, web syndication, and moderation of posts and comments.
The top blogs as ranked by Technorati use a mixture between third party software such as WordPress and that developed and maintained primarily by internal engineers, such as the system used by Gizmodo.
