LightBlog is a "Web 2.0" blogging platform written in PHP. It uses SQLite flat-file databases, so it's a good choice for those who don't have access to centralized SQL database systems such as MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server.

The team places a very high emphasis on design and ease-of-use in LightBlog. All themes and pages are custom-designed by our resident designer, soren121, and most forms and actions use asynchronous jQuery AJAX calls to send and receive data from the backend without reloading the page for a pleasant, fluid interface.

Feel free to download the latest code from our Subversion repository, but be forewarned that trunk code is rarely stable, and you may encounter bugs. The LightBlog team holds no responsibility for any problems you may encounter or issues that arise when using trunk code.

If LightBlog isn't working for you, please file a bug report in the Issues tab above!

Feburary 8: Figured I would explain why 0.9.2 isn't out. I was about to pull the trigger on the release, but I decided against it. Why? Because I didn't feel comfortable shipping it with an ugly installer that only worked half of the time. I realized that an AJAX installer just wasn't working, so I'm going back to the old POST format, and rewriting it completely. It will look and work 200% better than the old AJAX installer. Here's a preview. 0.9.2, with the new installer, should be out before February 16. (thanks Winter Break!)
