I run Apache, but only as a proxy / rewriter..  I actually feel better
about its' security track record than putting Zope or Squid on port
80, because, yanno, 70% or more of the 'net uses Apache.

I work with Quills, a blogging addon for the Plone CMS:

We're quickly approaching a 1.5 release, which should work well with
either Plone 2.1 or 2.5, the latter of which I suggest:

Quills is pretty trivial to set up with the universal plone installer.
