phpslash: it's not a blog engine, it's a hulking editorial workstation for moderating anonymous contributions. it's really just as it claims to be, a PHP plug-in replacement for Slashdot, and best suited to that sort of site. To it's credit, the pages may be 1995-vintage HTML, but the PHP code is reasonably well put together (from what I've seen from one day's looking). Installation was not totally painless, but it was smooth enough; it's unclear if you need to use their scripts or phplib's, and if you do the phplib, you have to edit the phpslash SQL or mysql won't take it.
