Greymatter - Weblog/Journal Software
I've found some new software that is going to be pretty slick. As some of you may know and most of you don't care, Blogger provides the software that runs this weblog. Well, they've basically gone out of business and are down to one employee. They still have some servers, but they don't seem to be in a real strong position. So I've been looking for a more local solution to the problem.
This program runs on my server and has a huge amount of customizable features. My new webzine (2 weeks) will have a weblog and this blog will be moving there as well, and this new software looks really sharp. All the pages are auto updated when a new entry is added and all the comments work similarly to before. The popup window will go away for the comments, but the rest of it should work OK. This will also allow us to delete inappropriate (lewd/crude/abusive) comments.
Blogger is definitely easier to use, but this is way more powerful and I was able to hack the source code to make updating the site even more useful. You'll know it when we switch over, and I think you'll enjoy the improvements. Or maybe best of all you won't even notice a difference.
