It intelligently 'guesses' where to save the blog and keeps tracks of edits. Delete posts, move posts, edit posts from any browser. When edits are made, blogs are renamed, not deleted so you can view the history of your edits any time. This script is an inexpensive way to start your blogging. You'll love Blosxom for it's versatility and the many plugins that are already available. NEW: Post to this Blog script using a simple email message. If you can't connect to the web to post, but have email access, just send a quick note to your blog and it will post it. Password protected so your blogs are safe.
