Interestingly, my search yesterday on "blog" in the Debian package descriptions didn't turn that up. In the meantime, I found both Moveable Type and Greymatter as non-Debian options. Moveable Type seemed overly complicated, and the installation instructions were pretty unclear. Greymatter was pretty simple to install and seems to do what I need, so I got that running this morning. While Moveable Type has a fairly limited license (non-commercial use only), Greymatter is under a free license so it should be possible to make a Debian package of it; not sure why no one has so far...

You can copy the CGI that runs it onto your woody systems without trouble. The downside I've found with using it for simple logs (daily network status stuff at my work) is that it uses mtime on the blog entry file for the date it displays for the entry. This means you can't go back and edit older entries and keep them as entries for the original date (at least not without timestamp trickery). It should do the trick for you, John. -- Nate "Go not to Usenet for counsel, for it will say both no, and yes, and no, and yes" - Unknown -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Simple blog software for Debian?
Has any blog software (for a server, not using somebody else's system) been packaged up for Debian? If not, can anyone recommend a simple system for use with Apache? I just want to do a simple on-line log and don't need anything fancy -- just something that's a bit easier than writing raw HTML. Thanks for any suggestions.
