Formerly known as CherryBlosxom!

Yomiko was formerly known as CherryBlosxom (Cherry due to the dependency on CherryPy and Blosxom due to it being inspired by the lightweight Perl blogging app of that name) and hosted here. At the time I thought the name CherryBlosxom was so unique it never occurred to me to check if it had already been used. It turns out that someone wrote a Ruby port of Blosxom years ago and called it Cherry Blosxom! Even though that project appears to be dead, when I migrated my CherryBlosxom to Google code I decided it would be best to rename it.
