Well, here it is. pyBlosxom is now installed on blog.intouch.ca.

I started with the Debian version of pyBlosxom in the experimental archives, and created a mini install in each user’s home dir. This more-or-less follows the install suggestions in the pyBlosxom wiki. The flavour templates are roughly based on the html flavour that comes bundled in the Debian package.

Each user now has files in their home directory similar to:

www
 |
 - pyblosxom
   |
   - data
      content-type.html
      head.html
      story.html
      footer.html
   - etc
      config.py
   - plugins
      pycalendar.py
   - cgi-bin
      pyblosxom.cgi

Blog are placed in the data subdir with a ’.txt’ suffix. The file name is significant when constructing permanent linke to articles so best to make it descriptive. Articles can be written in plain text or in HTML (still with ’.txt’ suffix) -- I suggest HTML for readability. pyBlosxom auto-magically classifies articles according the the file system hierachy under the data directory.

My goal is to write at least one article per day on work related subjects, and to convince other In-Touch’ers to do the same.
