Pinax

Pinax is an open-source platform built on the Django Web Framework. It is an ecosystem of reusable Django apps, themes, and starter project templates. This collection can be found at http://pinaxproject.com.

This app was developed as part of the Pinax ecosystem but is just a Django app and can be used independently of other Pinax apps.

Features

Current features include:

• support for multiple channels (e.g. technical vs business)

• Atom and RSS feeds

• previewing of blog posts before publishing

• optional ability to announce new posts on twitter

• Traditional date based urls or simpler slug-only urls, via configuration

History

This app used to be named biblion when originally developed by Eldarion, Inc. Upon donating the Pinax, the app was renamed to pinax-blog, making it easier to find and know what it is.
