PHP/MySQL alternatives to WordPress?

I'm having a hard time believing there isn't already a good question with solid answers/discussion about this, but I didn't have any luck searching one up. Please link+close if you know of one. Certainly no hard feelings...

that being said,

I'm looking for a PHP+MySQL blog framework that's not named WordPress, and I have the following basic requirements:

• relatively "light" aka easily edited/hacked/augmented (clean code, good structure, etc)
• solid image support (upload, resize, etc)
• solid comments system (including some sort of human verification)

Not too bad, right?

Nor开发者_高级运维mally I just hop over to Wikipedia for this sort of thing, but their List of CMS is uncharacteristically lacking in cross-comparison details.

Picking through that will take me awhile. Is there anyone out there who has been down the same road as I and would like to toss out some suggestions while I peruse Wikipedia's list?

Thank you!

EDIT - I finally found a similar question, by the masterly Pekka

There are lots of blog frameworks in that list. As i know joomla is good and also eZ Publish. But why you don't want to use Wordpress?

If you don't like Worpdress, may be you can use Joomla, It's not only designed for blogging but can be used for this purpose.

Joomla passes the HTML validator.
