    Has anybody tried xenforo as a lite blog platform using addons? I like the clean look of @eva2000's blog.centminmod.com (wordpress), but I'm looking for an reason to keep avoiding Wordpress, and I'm running out of excuses... especially now that I'm on centminmod.

    I'd recommend sticking with Wordpress.

    In about 6 months, people might start reporting how well their articles are doing in search engines. Then you can compare with how well Wordpress has worked for you.

    I use and like both platforms on my site.

    Stick with WordPress! I love XenForo but I would not try to run a blog on it.

    Use the tool designed for the job. :)
