What is PyBlosxom?
PyBlosxom is:
- File-Based: In PyBlosxom everything is a text file. Entries are files, configuration is a file, plugins are files, etc... This makes PyBlosxom easily extensible in whatever environment you choose to work in and instantly compatable with command line scripting.
- Extensible: Pyblosxom has a plugin framework which allows you to customize and extend PyBlosxom in almost every way.
- Standards-compliant: PyBlosxom supports RSS 2.0 and Atom syndication feeds.
- Customizeable: PyBlosxom has a simple templating engine to make it easy to design your own themes with a minimum of development knowlage.
- Community-oriented: We pride ourselves in being a nice, open and friendly community. PyBlosxom has hundreds of active users, each of them running PyBlosxom in different ways and on different operating systems. As a result, there is usually someone on the IRC channel or mailing lists who has encountered your problem before and who would be willing to lend a hand. If you don't get a satisfactory response, take that as motivation to figure it out and help add to our extensive documentation!
Pyblosxom allows you to use your favorite editor, toolset and workflow to maintain your blog without forcing you to build it all from scratch.
