A simple blog, for simple websites.
What is this? Well, blogdown is a blogging software that is unique in it's ways, it is a strictly blog-only (No additional features like pages), meaning that this can be easily implemented on any existing websites.

MarkDown implementations?
Instead of using the traditional WYSIWYG HTML Editors, I have decided to use the MarkDown syntax instead, which is more efficient, and makes much more sense for a blogging software to use.

Themes?
Themes will use the same template engine as in . Meaning that themes will be able to be easily, or even easier to create on blogdown.

Quick peek!
Currently, everything you see here is not final and is still work-in-progress and more screenshots will be posted soon.

- Concept Update -
The majority of the front end side of the software is done.
For the backend, there will not be an administration panel added into this, as to make this script compatible with most websites, an API will be used to post blog posts and do additional stuff, of course, secure API keys will also be used for API authentication. Permissions will also be assigned to those keys.

The Alpha version of blogdown can be downloaded at the GitHub Repository ( ). I will continue to maintain this project including Iko. User contribution is appreciated :D

I've seen a little about you talking about this in the shoutbox. It's looking impressive at the moment!

Downloaded it, and tested it on localhost. The part where you configure admin user & email is throwing an error with password_hash() cannot run, I suppose that's why you called it alpha :p

Looks impressive though!

During the installation? Or the API itself?

Nice work man, I can't really say much as I know fuck all about back-end and the front-end is something that is up to downloadee anyways.

Although, as a possible user, I find I prefer the method of having some sort of panel to log in to, post and upload a post. Maybe I'm lazy or maybe I just find that method a lot easier, who knows? Maybe you can prove me wrong.

As one of the concept update specified that blogdown will be built for existing websites, a back-end panel would be redundant as the website that this will be installed on would already have one. They can extend theirs to use the blogdown API for convenience.

Update
The blogdown Wiki is completed! Actually, more of a guide. Hope it helps!

An example has been created to show newbies how to extend the blogdown API!
