pMachine's Expression Engine is a highly configurable blog application that can be used to add content to an existing Web site or as the basis for a site. The commercial version of Expression Engine can be purchased for $200 and runs on any operating system/Web server that supports PHP and My SQL. The company also offers an installation service to get you up and running quickly.
Once the application is installed, you can select from the templates available online or design your own look using HTML. The system includes a series of installable modules including image galleries, mailing lists, referrer tracking, membership management, and several others.
I was able to set up a 30-day test account (a test account costs $10, which can be applied toward an eventual purchase), select a template, and begin posting immediately. Expression Engine includes an e-mail function, allowing you to send mail from within your account to specified individuals, to the entire membership list, or to pre-defined sub-groups. This is useful, but would be better if it included the ability to select articles or postings from the site and send them as email.
