My Sister Has A Website

Last week my sister came over for dinner, and we talked a bit about web pages, and that she didn't like Microsoft's new "Live" offerings. So I offered to set aside some space on my server, give her a domain (miek.info was still available, and it only costs €1.20/year!) and some space to put her photos and 'stories'.

So I went to work, figuring out more about stylesheets than I ever wanted to know and submitting a few patches to the Pyblosxom project.

And now it's basically done. Don't mind the ~~horrible~~ beautiful purple/green/pink color scheme... I didn't choose it ;)

Why did you choose Pyblosxom in the end - I would've thought that would still be a little complicated (especially for photo's 'n' stuff) for your average non-geek?

PyBlosxom understands the MetaWeblog XMLRPC API, so she can use almost any 'desktop blog posting' application to post stories. It's also the only blog software I know of that doesn't require PHP to be installed (which is a requirement: I'm not installing PHP on my machine).

I've set up the 'photo' part of the site differently, using my own photo scripts. This makes it as easy as uploading a few files to the right directory on the server (via SFTP, for example).
