15 Description: light, feature-packed weblog app with plugin extensibility
16 Blosxom (pronounced "Blossom") is a lightweight yet feature-packed
17 weblog application designed from the ground up with simplicity,
18 usability, and interoperability in mind.
20 Fundamental is its reliance upon the file system, folders and files as
21 its content database. Blosxom's weblog entries are plain text files
22 like any other. Write from the comfort of your favorite text editor
23 and hit the Save button. Create, edit, rename, and delete entries on
24 the command-line, via FTP, WebDAV, or anything else you might use to
25 manipulate your files. There's no import or export; entries are
26 nothing more complex than title on the first line, body being
27 everything thereafter.
29 Despite its tiny footprint, Blosxom doesn't skimp on features,
30 sporting the majority of features one would find in any other Weblog
31 application. Additionally, Blosxom 2 includes support for plugins, and
32 thus much more extensive customization.
34 Blosxom is simple, straightforward, minimalist Perl affording even the
35 dabbler an opportunity for experimentation and customization. And
36 last, but not least, Blosxom is open source and free for the taking
