I think Plone is an amazing CMS that can be as easy or as complex as 
you want it to be. There are blogging add-ons for it ranging from 
very simple to very sophisticated. I've recently been playing with 
Quills for blogging on Plone. It seems to do all the things that I 
could expect of a blog. Plone is well documented, engineered, 
supported, and is in use by tens of thousands of people. I find it 
easy to customize its look and feel, though I am quite happy with the 
default theme. It helps that it is written in Python, which I like 
much better than PHP.
