1. OVERVIEW

BlazeBlogger is a simple to use but capable CMS for the command line. Being

written in Perl as a cross-platform application,  and producing static con-

tent without the need of database  servers or server-side scripting,  it is

literally a CMS without  boundaries suitable for a wide variety of web pre-

sentations, from  a personal weblog to a  project page,  or  even a company

website.

1.1 Notable Features

  * Generates valid HTML 4.01 Strict or XHTML 1.1 pages,  and RSS 2.0 feed.

  * Generates yearly and monthly archives, and supports tags.

  * Allows you to create both blog posts and pages.

  * Enables a quick change of theme, style sheet, or localization.

  * Comes with tools for easy management of your blog.

1.2 Example Usage

  ~]$ blaze-init   # Creates a new repository in .blaze/

  ~]$ blaze-add    # Allows you to write a new post in your favorite editor

  ~]$ blaze-make   # Generates a blog from the repository

2. DEVELOPMENT

As a version control system for its source code, BlazeBlogger uses Git with

a public repository located at gitorious.org. To get the latest development

version, use the following command:

  git clone git://gitorious.org/blazeblogger/mainline.git blazeblogger

Alternatively, if you are behind a restrictive firewall,  use the following

command instead:

  git clone http://git.gitorious.org/blazeblogger/mainline.git blazeblogger

If you are planning to make some interesting changes, please, consider clo-

ning the project on Gitorious, so that I can follow you and eventually pull

your work to the upstream.
