Latest release

The latest release is axblog-0.2.tgz, version 0.2, the latest alpha release.

Overview

This is a basic weblog for users of the AxKit XML Application Server from Apache (http://axkit.org/). It's the code I use for my own weblogs at simonwoodside.com and semacode.org. It uses an XML file as the data store and is fully implemented in XSLT. Therefore, it may also be useful under Cocoon or other XML/XSLT systems. All of the processing is done using XSLT pipelines on the server side, generating HTML styled with CSS2 layout for the client side.
