[kwlug-disc] Blogging software for Linux

[Paul Nijjar]

I think blogging is still alive but most people update via the web
interface. The other approach is to go minimalist via a static website
using Markdown markup. 

Yes, some of us dinosaurs still run bloggish websites.

As for blogging clients, two that were not in the Linux section of
Chris's post are: 

lekhonee-gnome
qtm 

QTM looks like it is still alive (it was updated in 2015, at any
rate).

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...)
