Poster blog is a software which allows you to create a blog without the need of a database: all you need is an hosting (even a free one) with PHP support, FTP access and you must be able to chmod files.

Posting is really easy, thanks to a nice web interface which makes no use of JavaScript, so you can use it also on old browsers or even textual ones. I wrote down a list of Poster powered blogs (really short, at the moment, but I hope it will grow soon).

Poster blog works on plain text files and doesn't require a database.

Here are some key features of "Poster blog":
Posting, obviously :)
Comments
Trackbacks (recieve and send)
Multiple authors. There are granular permissions to define exactly what an user can and cannot do
Categories
Permalinks for posts, comments, trackbacks, categories and also authors
Modular and scriptable template. You can insert PHP code in the template, and that code will be executed on the fly. The template uses special entities (for example, is replaced with the title of the blog)
RSS feed. Future versions will have also an Atom feed

What's New in This Release:
This release improves UTF-8 support, adds two spam filters (one based on a blacklist, the other on captcha images), and implements a way of removing unwanted HTML tags from comments.
