python/bloopy

My custom blogging software that runs at http://www.aypwip.org.

Features
- object based, not template based

  Rather than having page templates, everything is an object and to
  change the site layout, you change the write() method of the object. 
  E.g., Page, Entry, Comment, Link are all objects with write methods. 
  This leads to better site consistency.  The idea is from
  LiveJournal's S2.


- entries are files, but mirrored in a database

  Entries are plain files (like in Bloxsom), but they don't show up on
  the website until you put them in the database.  The files and the
  database are syncronized like CVS or SVN.  E.g., "blog update" will
  update the files to the DB and "blog rm" can be used to remove an
  entry from the DB.


- standards compliant

  The site is currently XHTML compliant (not quite CSS compliant as I'm
  using some Mozilla specific styles to round corners) and all comments
  are also beaten into compliance using HTML Tidy (http://tidy.sf.net).


- clean URIs

  All page requests go through a single script which determines which
  page to display.  This makes the URIs clean and is able to handle
  errors more dynamically than apache does by default.  E.g., if a
  page is not found, it is easy to then run a search to try to find
  relavent pages based on the URI.
