I ran Serendipity for quite a while, and liked it ok. These days (for a
very long time now) I run my own code, which is not open source or in
the ports tree. Maybe some day I'll contribute it..... it's not "just"
a blog; it was more of a discussion forum (think phpbb or similar) but
has the ability to also support blogs with comments, e-newsletters with
watermarking security and a bunch of other stuff, all template driven so
it'll do pretty much whatever you want in terms of how the display is
formatted.
