Pyblosxom is a weblog engine that uses standard text files located on your filesystem as a database of weblog entries. The concept is simple, managing content is as easy as editing a text file with your favourite text editor.

PyBlosxom uses directory tree to represent the category hierarchy. All entries in a PyBlosxom blog are text files where the first line is the title of the blog entry and the rest is the body of the entry.

PyBlosxom isn't easy to use and it won't scale well if you have a million entries.

PyBlosxom runs as a CGI script. It also runs as a WSGI application and it probably runs fine under mod_python, though this is less well-tested.

PyBlosxom supports flavours to change the look and feel of your blog. PyBlosxom supports plugins to modify the existing default behavior.

What's New in This Release:
The "num_entries" property now affects the home page and category index pages. It no longer affects archive index pages.
Fixed the RSS 0.9.1 feed templates. It has the correct link url and shows the entry bodies.
The version string is correct.
Added support for $body_escaped .
Fixed the blog encoding on the RSS 2.0 feed so that it uses the value provided in the config.py $blog_encoding variable.
Fixed the Atom 1.0 story flavour to use $body_escaped instead of
Fixed a problem with static rendering where we'd render "/index.html"
and "//index.html" if the user had entries in their root category.
If you have plugins that use the logger functions in PyBlosxom 1.2, you need to update those plugins to use the new logger functions in
PyBlosxom 1.3. Read through the API for details.
Moved documentation in ReadMeForPlugins.py over to the manual.
