Open blog engine, written in PHP

What’s openblog?

openblog is a simple blog engine, written in PHP. I was hired to write a blog engine and the requirements were fairly easy, I wanted to make sure I can write such a software, so I wrote it.

It has the following benefits:

• requires only PHP and MySQL

• it’s small, so if you want to customize it, you can do it easily, since understanding the whole source code is not a problem

• it has an integrated rich text editor, clean URLs, RSS, so everything what is needed in a general blog.

Status

Maintaining software is always a pain and given that I’m no longer paid for doing so, I recently switched to rejourn.

Download

From github.

How does it work?

I think all you have to modify is renaming htaccess.sample to .htaccess and finetuning config.php, especially the MySQL password part.
