Personal Weblog is a PHP include file for adding a weblog to a home page. Personal Weblog is highly configurable and can be changed to fit any web page style.

Here are some key features of "Personal Weblog":
Simple to install and easy to use
Completely configurable through a web browser
Entries are categorized by topic
Search-able by topic, keywords and time
Supports RSS (Rich Site Summary) for syndication
Supports multiple weblogs within a single database
Works under many different operating systems and PHP configurations
Extensible

I consider the lack of user management, discussion forums and "slashboxes" a feature for a personal home page. A personal weblog should meld with your home page, not contain it as a subtopic. If you are after something more heavy duty to run a news/discussion site check out Geeklog or the original Slashcode.

For announcements or help with general Personal Weblog issues you can subscribe to the low traffic weblog-users mailing list. Feel free to keep sending feedback, bug reports and suggestions my way though.

Requirements:
PHP 4
MySQL
PostgreSQL
