A dynamic and lightweight blogging platform inspired by Luke Smith's 'LB'.

Introduction

This project contains a lightweight instance of DLB (Dynamic Lightweight Blogging), a framework I created for my own personal use. The idea to build this was heavily inspired by Luke Smith's project 'lb' which aims to provide self-hosted blogging capabilities to users. lb is designed to be lightweight (under 100 lines of bash script) while still providing everything to be expected of a traditional blogging platform.

What sets DLB apart

This project aims to maintain feature parity with lb whilst having the following advantages:

• No command line post management Listings, Standalone Posts, etc. are generated on the fly
• Familiar syntax inspired by the Django / Jinja templating system
• Lightweight with less than 100 lines of Python
• Platform Independence with no bash shell required
