What BlogoText is
BlogoText is a free, open-source, self-hosted blog engine built around SQLite. It supports blogging with comments and RSS feeds, and includes an RSS reader for following content. Users can share links and upload or share images and files. Content can be moved through JSON, ZIP, and HTML import and export, with WordPress import also supported. Add-ons can be installed by placing them in the addons folder and enabling them in the administration area. Installation requires downloading a release, uploading the application folder to a website, and completing setup in a browser. The server must provide PHP greater than 5.5 and SQLite or MySQL with PDO support. Its admin panel needs a CSS3-, HTML5-, and ES6-compatible browser. The project lists at least 2 Mo of disk space, with more required as data grows. BlogoText is redistributed under the X11 / MIT Licence.
