While there are many ways to install PyBlosxom, the most common one is to install PyBlosxom as a CGI script for a single user. This installation guide will cover that. For other ways to install PyBlosxom, refer to the mailing lists and the web-site.
This installation assumes you have some understanding of CGI, Apache configuration, and know how to manipulate files and directories. If this doesn't sound like you, maybe you should get a friend to help out or ask for help on the pyblosxom-users mailing list. Details of the mailing list are on our web-site at http://pyblosxom.sourceforge.net/ .
