I just did that too.  I settled on WordPress, because:
- Billions of free themes out there
- Written in PHP, which I like much better than Perl these days
- Very sensible structure of include() files allows for a lot of
customization
- Excellent documentation for both beginner and expert
- Full security
- Full semantic web support, with categories, tag clouds, RSS, ATOM,
feedburner,...

I haven't announced it yet because I still need to do a little more
customization, but if you want to see what I have so far....

My old website was lovingly crafted from scratch by yours truly,
including authorization, localization, crossreferences, simple themes,
etc.  When I recently decided to redo it, I concluded I simply don't
have the time to do it right, and WP had all the features I needed
anyway, even if I don't use it as a typical blog.

I'm curious what you end up using, so please do tell us.
