Ghost: Just a blogging platform. Ghost is a platform dedicated to one thing: Publishing. It's beautifully designed, completely customisable and completely Open Source. Ghost allows you to write and publish your own blog, giving you the tools to make it easy and even fun to do; DNN: Open source web content management platform (CMS). It is the leading open source web content management platform (CMS) in the Microsoft ecosystem.

Containing dynamic content of all types, DNN sites are easy to deploy and update.
