Attempts to push forward with "Blosxom 3" never really took off because it worked well enough as it was and attempts to build something more sophisticated also seemed to lose the simple elegance that made blosxom appeal to most of us.

Many other people don't want to be that intimately involved with their publishing engine and Wordpress, et al, are a better choice for them.
