[Gllug] Simple blog software for noobs

[Rev Simon Rumble]

Hi folks.

I use blosxom for my personal blog.  I love it because it's free, 
simple, extensible, one Perl script and uses the filesystem as its 
database.

My partner has just expressed interest in having her own blog.  Problem 
is, blosxom requires a little more tech savvy than she could be bothered 
getting.  She'd need to learn how to use a text editor, write HTML blah 
blah blah.

So I've looked into some of the blosxom plugins for doing stuff.  There 
seems to be some that will allow you to create a blog entry from a web 
page.  Fine.  However the HTML issue seems a little more intractable.  
There are a few wiki-ish plugins, but none of them seem to work (the 
kwiki one has a syntax error in the "use" statement, for starters, and 
seems to do nothing when that is corrected) or require large amounts of 
other software (python?!?!?).

So can anyone suggest a blogging system that shares the simplicity of 
blosxom but also allows for non-HTML typed data entry via a web browser?  
Perl preferred.
