What is Blosxonomy?

Simply put: It's a Zen thing...

Blosxonomy is a very lightweight Blosxom like blogging system written in Ruby, and designed around four core ities: simplic-ity, taggabil-ity, extensibil-ity and compatibil-ity.

Download the latest version, and a sample flavour to get started! There's also a set of plugins too. Already a pyBlosxom user?

Blosxonomy 0.7 - The Database Release
Posted 5 days ago

Blosxonomy 0.7 is available for download - and database support is finally here!

Don't worry, Blosxom styles posts are still the default and fully supported so you can try Blosxonomy risk free - but once you're hooked, switching to database mode will reduce your response times by almost 2/3'rds. There's a utility included to migrate back and forth. All the details are in the DATABASE.README file -- it'll walk you through the initial setup and migrating back and forth.

Comments, feedback, bug reports and fixes welcome.

Blosxonomy 0.7.4
Posted 5 days ago

Blosxonomy 0.7.4 is available for download.

This release brings several bug fixes. The only major addition to the system is the ability to create entries through a web interface if you're using database storage. When I originally released 0.7, it came with a migration tool and I thought it'd be simple enough to just use that and keep writing my entries in Blosxom format, but that wasn't working out too well. To use the web-based posting mechanism, set bc['post_path'] in your config, and then browse to it in your browser (the same way you'd set bc['rss_path'] and browse to it to view your feed). You can also edit existing entries by passing an editid=id parameter in the URL.

I highly recommend protecting your post_path using SSL and authentication. I have an an entry on my blog that describes how I did it.

As always, comments, feedback and support are always welcome.
