A Super Simple PHP Blogging Platform

Primary LanguagePHP

blog

The software behind my blog.

The only dependency is PHP.

Install Instructions

To install locally/test:

$ git clone git@github.com:etopiei/blog.git
$ cd blog

Edit the constants in constants.php and you are good to go.

Enabling Comments

To enable comments setup utterances on a public github repo and set the flag to true and add necessary details in constants.php

Writing Posts

Now just write posts in Vanilla HTML and save them to the posts directory (with the name 1.post, 2.post etc.).

Then update the corresponding metadata.post and description.post files, so that the RSS feed can be filled in.

The format of metadata.post is that each line should contain:

<unix_timestamp> <post title>

eg:

1485475200 Welcome to my blog

Development Goals

  • Remove MYSQL dependency
  • Add RSS Feed
  • Re-design
  • Comment Section
  • Redo Routing API to make RSS easier and site nicer (needs to be backwards compatible though)
