I think this should now be ready for public consumption. Blorgit is a simple blogging engine. Features include... - comments :: Comments can be left through the web interface, and they will be appended to the org-mode file under a "Comments" header. They can be turned on or off globally, or through the properties of the "Comments" header - editing :: optional editing through the web interface can be turned on or off, and can be password protected - themes :: there are a couple of default themes distributed with blorgit (try the 'org' theme using Tim Burt's folded unicorn) - runs directly from .org files :: this is designed to run off of a directory of org-mode formatted files, all exportation is handled by blorgit, so you should be able to point this to an existing directory of org-mode files, fire up the browser and get going. This also means that it is easy to add content or make configuration changes through git or any VC system. - exportation :: all pages can be downloaded in org-mode or LaTeX formats The goal was to be relatively simple/hackable. The look and feel should be largely malleable through css, and if you want to dig deeper, all of the views and logic are located inside the blorgit.rb file. See http://github.com/eschulte/blorgit/tree/master for instillation and configuration instructions. If anyone has any feedback, or wants to add new default themes I'm all ears. Thanks -- Eric Also, for a slightly more ambitious (if less mature) effort see orGit. It an org-mode formatted wiki, backed by a git repository (edits are automatically committed to git, some git actions (reversion of pages, etc...) can be handled through the web interface, and the git history can be browsed through the wiki) see http://github.com/eschulte/orGit/tree/master
