Discussion on: Why I created a very simple photo blog generator

Very neat. It reminds me a bit of my own static blog generator tumblelog which is also very simple and can do photos in a very similar way. See for an example my blog Plurrrr which is mostly a link blog but also has photos now and then.

interesting! what's the input for your blog. how tech-y doesn't the author needs to be?

The Python version is most likely the easiest to get started with. I wrote an article on the installation of tumblelog which is followed by testing tumblelog and getting started with tumblelog.

The input is a single text file which must contain markdown articles separated by % and some meta data, see for example here. I use Emacs in Markdown mode with some additional syntax highlighting which works great.

Feel free to ask any question.
