"Wordpress is the best. Blogger and the other blog software platforms pale by comparison."

I thought the same until I can across TextPattern - http://www.textpattern.com

It's a blog out of the box but flexible enough to be able to build a more complex site. More specifically, one can use sections, categories and custom fields to define an information architecture model and display content according to rules based on that.

A web designer with no programming skills can use its propriety code to pull information dynamically (eg. lists of posts or articles based on categories, dates, custom field values, etc...) and specifiying behaviour using if and then tyle statements. An example:

<txp:if_category name="roses">
<p>I like roses</p>
<txp:else />
<p>I don't like flowers<p>
</txp:if_category>

There are plenty of plugins too.

Textpattern uses Textile to format text, which is very easy to use.
