Because you want your blog to be you, not bog standard install #4958 with 20 posts per page instead of 15. For this you need a *clean, simple, easy to understand code base* that stays out of your way. No liquid drops and templates hindering your path, no ugly PHP(Hypertext Preprocessor) stylings burning your eyeballs.

26 * /yyyy/mm/dd/post-title is a good URL for your posts
27 * Live comment preview should be provided by default
28 * Google does search better than you or I
29 * You don't need a plugin system when you've got decent source control
30 * If you're not using OpenID you're a chump
31 * Hacking code is the easiest way to customize something

34
35 Mephisto is feature packed and quite customizable. It can however be daunting trying to find your way around the code, which isn’t so good if you’re trying to hack in your own features. Enki strips out a lot of the features that you probably don’t need (multiple authors and liquid templates, for example), and focuses on keeping a tight code base that is easy to comprehend and extend.

37 *If you’re converting from Mephisto,* be sure to have a look at "enki-translator":http://github.com/xaviershay/enki-translator/tree/master

39 h2. How it differs from SimpleLog
40
41 Enki embodies much of the philosophy of SimpleLog, but does so in a style that is much more consistent with Rails best practices, making it easier to understand and hack the code.
