MacTamer, Joomla is a great tool for strong ALL AROUND sites. My entire site is built on a slightly modified Joomla with full CAPTCHA security, forum, wiki, comment system, PM system, Blog (WordPress powered), and all that. If you just want a blog, go for WordPress, if you just want a forum, go with phpBB or SMF (phpBB has more theme/extension support but SMF tends to be more secure), if you want a site with everything, go for Joomla.
I don't really want a forum... that's what InsanelyMac is for.

I just would like a blog and a commenting system (haloscan is okay but...). It looks like Apache has PHP/SQL built in. So now what? Go to the website and read the instructions.?
