<p>> So I've looked into some of the blosxom plugins for doing stuff. There</p>

<p>> seems to do nothing when that is corrected) or require large amounts of</p>
<p>> other software (python?!?!?).</p>
<p>></p>
<p>> So can anyone suggest a blogging system that shares the simplicity of</p>

<p>I use 'nanoblogger' for my 'A taste of Linux' site, and it can be found at http://nanoblogger.sourceforge.net/. Once you've got it set up, its quite easy to use from a konsole as './nb -a' and it then opens up [in my case] a kedit window where I compose my blog. But, I upload it using gFTP, but that's my choice as nanoblogger can be used to upload it too.</p>
<p></p>
<p>For my 'efever' site I use 'PyQLogger' which can be found at http://pyqlogger.berlios.de/wiki/index.php/Main_Page, but this is for a http://www.blogger.com/ account [which are free anyway].</p>
<p></p>
<p>Hope these ideas/programs are useful to you both?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Merry Christmas</p>
