[Boston.pm] OT: blosxom

2004-12-07 Thread Greg London

my website is on Pair.
I want to put a blog up on my site.
Pair has blosxom on the list of tools they have.

According to blosxom homepage, it's pure perl,
so its sort of a on-topic question.

Anyone know anything about blogging as far as
which blogging software is good?
Is it all a wash? Is blosxom any good?
I've heard about Movable Type as another option.

anyone in the know doing any blogging?

Greg

Hey Greg,
 I have been using blosxom since one of the early imaginary number version 
releases (0.x+i). I strongly recommend it, it is essentially a clever perl 
script, very minimalistic, it builds on *NIX assumprions (as it should!), so 
that you simply create a text file in a certain directory, the first line 
becomes the title, the rest the body. You can do this via ssh (my favorite 
option), but many plugins exist to do it from any facility you might think of 
(and it is easy to write your own).

The date of the entry is taken from the system's file last modification. 

I have a little hack to pre-render things via lynx, but Rael incorporated a 
more flexible scheme doing the same thing into newer releases, so that you can 
have the script render once rather than per-each HTTP call, and serve the 
cached result. This is nice if you are expecting lots of traffic, of course, or 
if you run your webserver on a mac SE-30 as I do for a challenge =).

 Three thumbs up is my overall comment. I would tell you to go peek at my site, 
but I moved and it is still down.
