Blog Script
You like this blog script? I downloaded and installed a slightly modified version of Blosxom (don't really like that name) and wrote my own posting script. Blosxom reads directories and sub-directories looking for text files, checks their date, sorts them by category (directories) and most recent date. It's a small, very useful script-- though a little obtuse in the traditional CGI perl script sense and therefore hard to modify.When designing the posting script I wanted it to work seamlessly with Blosxom without having to change Blosxom, so that other Blosxom users could incorporate it into their sites. It works pretty well, with the only problem being when directory names have numbers in them. (This gets the date listing feature of Blosxom confused). I don't think I'll be able to work around that aside from outlawing number directories.
If you want the script, let me know. I think I'll give it away for free.
