# simple_blog

simple_blog is a basic blogging platform. It is designed to be a straightforward way to publish articles written in Markdown and display them using a renderer written in PHP. There is no login page or any way to manage simple_blog from the web. All management is done via the command line. This can be done with a shell script or with the python based [simple_blog_cms](https://20xd6.net/git/20xd6/simple_blog_cms). 

## Requirements

* Currently tested with PHP 7.4
* Some shell access is necessary.
    * The recommend way is via ssh.
    * I don't see a technical reason it can't work with a web manager like cPannel or Ajenti as long has you have the ability to upload files and manage files.
