Poster is a software which allows you to create a blog without the need of a database: all you need is an hosting (even a free one) with PHP support, FTP access and you must be able to chmod files.
Posting is really easy, thanks to a nice web interface which makes no use of JavaScript, so you can use it also on old browsers or even textual ones.
If you want to try Poster before downloading it, take a look at the demo blog where you can do everything you want – except for editing the configuration, for security reasons.
Features
Features actually present are:
- Posting, obviously :)
- Comments
- Trackbacks (recieve and send)
- Multiple authors. There are granular permissions to define exactly what an user can and cannot do
- Categories
- Permalinks for posts, comments, trackbacks, categories and also authors
- Modular and scriptable template. You can insert
PHP code in the
template, and it will be executed on the fly. The template uses special
entities (for example,
<$BlogTitle$>is replaced with the title of the blog) - RSS feed. Future versions will hopefully have also an Atom feed
Other features will be introduced in future versions. If you miss some feature not present in Poster, drop me a mail.
