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 AJAX calls to send and receive data from the backend without reloading the page for a pleasant, fluid interface.

If you're looking to download a stable version of LightBlog, please use the download link in the green box to the right. Otherwise, feel free to download the latest code from our Subversion repository. Be forewarned, however, that trunk code is often quite unstable, and you may encounter bugs. The LightBlog team holds no responsibility for any problems you may encounter or issues that arise when using trunk or pre-release code.

January 29, 2012: Obviously, apologies aren't enough anymore. I've been seriously slacking off on LightBlog. But I've released 0.9.3.1 as an interim release, and I'll be ramping development on 0.9.4 way up. I'm shooting for late February/early March 2012. It's a sad case when you have to specify the year on a deadline >_> Again, sorry, guys.

September 6, 2011: The project isn't dead! We're working on a fancy new admin...interface, heh heh. It will be committed to the repository once it's somewhat functional. I'll leave you to figure out what that means.

July 16, 2010: I didn't plan on releasing 0.9.3 this late, but unfortunately I didn't have a dev machine available to me on my vacation. Sorry! Anyway, go ahead and download. Next release in two months, I promise!
