I can't believe it's not LiveJournal.

Bloxsom scans ~/www/bloxsom for *.txt files, and their 
file modification times,  and generates a
set of HTML files, starting with ~/www/index.html and 
continuing with a set of ~/www/2003/[...]/index.html.

For templates it looks for ~/www/bloxsom/head.html 
and ~/www/bloxsom/foot.html. 

I then modified the console based diary script from
SourceForge (a simple ASCII diary program) to generate 
the txt files from the command line (it invokes $EDITOR).

To get started, you add outland, and then:

1. "bloxsom -s" (it sets up the bloxsom directory)

2. "bxdiary" (it sets up the text diary - just quit the editor after it comes
up.)

3. Write the foot.html and head.html files in ~/www/bloxsom.

Then each time you want to do an entry, 
you type "bxdiary" to write your text file 
and "bloxsom" to generate HTML.

I'll move it from Outland to SIPB after I've installed 
a sane set of plugins.
