roll_my_blog
Introduction
This is a lightweight blogging platform built on Ruby on Rails. This application is really really lightweight and it does not do a lot of things.
Features
Reason why I created my own blogging engine was to cache as much as possible. A user who is not logged in should be able to get everything he/she wants from apache. Rails will handle only two things: posting a comment and search. Besides these two things everything else will be served by apache. And that's a big gain.
Only one user is supported.
Only way to login is to have an openid account.
Only Redcloth is supported.
no support for trackback.
Comment spam is handled by not storing the email address of the comment author. In the last 18 months I have not received a single spam using this mechanism. It works.
Tag an article.
HOW TO
Login: Got to www.domain.com/blog/login
Edit a blog: Login first. Then go to the url of the blog. At the top of the url add '/edit' and then submit this url.
Edit a comment: Login and then go to http://localhost:3000/admin_data
