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