Simple PYthon Blogging EnginE

Simple PYthon Blogging EnginE

Built on the bottle.py web framework.

Writing Posts

Blog posts are placed in the 'posts' folder and are written in markdown. For a blog post to be displayed, there needs to be a '.json' file and a '.md' file. The json file needs to have a 'timestamp' (which is a unix timetstamp) and optionally, a list of 'tags'. Tags currently serve no purpose, but in the future, they may be used for bucketing posts together.

Customization

You can change what the homepage says by editing home.md. If this file does not exist or markdown causes an error for whatever reason, nothing will be shown on the homepage.

Dependencies

Depends on python-argparse, python-markdown and python-json. By default, spybee also uses python-paste as an alternate webserver so that multi-threading is possible, but this isn't hard to change using bottle.

Running

Run with 'python main.py'. Use '-p' to specify port and '-d' to turn on debug mode.

Future plans

• Title and footer customization

• Tag filtering

• RSS
