Blosxom (pronounced “blossom”) is a lightweight yet feature-packed weblog application designed from the ground up with simplicity, usability, and interoperability in mind. The features are:

• Simplicity: Blogging–and, indeed, any online publishing– should be as simple as typing away in your favourite text editor and hitting Save. Fundamental is Blosxom’s reliance upon the file system, folders and files as its content database. Entries are plain text files like any other.
• Usability: Create, edit, rename, and delete entries on the command-line, via FTP, WebDAV, or anything else you might use to manipulate your files. There’s no import or export; entries are nothing more complex than title on the first line, body being everything thereafter.
• Interoperability: Despite its tiny footprint, Blosxom doesn’t skimp on features, sporting the lion’s share of features one would find in any other Weblog application or full-blown content management and publishing system. Blosxom’s plug-in architecture allows the core of Blosxom to remain small and sleek while providing room for extension and integration into different environments and uses.
• Blosxom is simple, straightforward, minimalist Perl affording even the dabbler an opportunity for experimentation and customization.
• Blosxom is Open Source and free for the taking and altering.
• Write from the comfort of your favourite text editor- be it BBEdit, vi, emacs, notepad, etc.
• Makes use of all the operating system and Web server beneath its feet have to offer — whether Mac OS X and Apache or Windows XP and IIS.
• Multiple Weblogs with only one Blosxom installation.
• Permalinks point to (aka bookmark) a particular story in the context of its posting day.
• By-day, by-month, and by-year “archives”.
• Flavour via a customizable template system.
• Choose between dynamic (on-the-fly) or static (spitting out regular files) rendering of your blog.
• RSS syndication.
• Small (<10K in size; <= 150 lines of actual code and lightweight)
• Intelligent defaults.
• Minimalist in terms of requirements and know-how, yet feature-packed and infinitely extensible via a powerful plug-in system. The Blosxom Plug-In Registry sports oodles of plug-ins to expand, extend, integrate, and delight.
