Why Is It So Hard to Find a Good Blogging Tool?

I’ve been looking for a good blogging tool all afternoon today, and the best open-source one I have found is pyblosxom, which I’m incindentally using now in order to write this entry. It is a huge hassle to setup though - much easier to just use LiveJournal, and LJ has much nicer community properties. The problem with LJ: I can’t limit my entries, so unless I want everyone on Planet Debian reading about my weekend drinking, I would have to set everything to friends-only except for ones which have a tech component. Granted, I could just start talking about tech stuff way more often than I do now, but I’d rather not put everyone into that group. I wish there was a way to categorize entries on LJ so that I can just mark the entries I want to be syndicated.
