Scriptogram: A highly-visual blogging platform for writing nerds

Cool blogging platform alternative of the day: If you’re looking with something with a little more heft that hits halfway between WordPress and Tumblr, Scriptogram, a Markdown-based blogging platform that integrates with Dropbox, might be your ticket. The theming system will feel at home if you’re a heavy Tumblr customizer, and there’s a level of control here that you may not get with a standard blog post. (There isn’t a rich-text option for writing, though Markdown is a cinch to learn.) And for SEO-focused types, it’s a little better on that front than Tumblr is. If you’re looking for a blog platform that feels like it was built out in 2012, but keeps the blogger in control of their work, this is a good bet.
