[kwlug-disc] Blogging software for Linux

[Jeff Smith]

Thanks for this.  I looked and now I'm really worried!  Seems none of these clients listed under Linux are being maintained anymore.  In fact, some are nearly ten years dead now.


Gnome-blog seems to have some potential as it is at least listed in the Ubuntu software centre..  I'll give that one a try.


But I can't help but wonder if I'm asking the wrong question here...  So how about this one:  is blogging itself dead?  And by blogging, I mean uploading snippets of information (e.g. "Coming Events", or "here's what happened at event XYZ") to a private website.  Am I taking the old-fashioned approach to these websites that I maintain?  I know WordPress is a security nightmare but it still seems very popular from what I see.  (I know that also sounds suspiciously like Facebook...)


What alternatives are there to blogging in general?  Does anyone still run a blog-ish website?

There's a list of 5 clients for Linux there, including an app
developed by Wordpress. There's also a vim script available, but I
doubt it supports graphics.
