A clear and powerfull weblog application powered with Django

Project description

Latest version on Pypi Downloads from Pypi

Simple yet powerful and really extendable application for managing a blog within your Django Web site.

Zinnia has been made for publishing Weblog entries and designed to do it well.

Basically any feature that can be provided by another reusable app has been left out. Why should we re-implement something that is already done and reviewed by others and tested ?

Features

More than a long speech, here the list of the main features :
