GusGus

This is the code for my own personal blog software and the articles that go with it. I got tired of crap like Mephisto, Typo, etc. with more bloat than I wanted. Moderating spam comments (even with Akismet) was just annoying. I always wrote my articles locally in Markdown and then did the post, preview, post, preview, ... junk until it looked on the site itself.

Now, I can run everything from my local box and see how it looks. Then, I commit it to my repository and do a little code deployment in production.

I don't need a stupid database. I don't need nuthin'! Awesome!

Do not use any of these articles or this code for anything, at all, ever; without telling me about it and acknowledging me as the source first. When I say tell me about it, I mean send me an email with your intents, where you're using the content, and some way for me to contact you (like an email address).
