My Own Django Blog

2009-12-01 11:47:56

I have plans to move to using a Django blog that i can customize myself. I don't know if i should go down the route of implementing my own or using one that exist. Here is a list of Blogging applications written in Django. What i need is something

• easily skinable allowing me to change the look-and-feel to the way i want it, something green and minimalistic
• someway of transferring all the posts here to that app
• Tagging
• Allowing comments on posts
  

Seems like Banjo has all the things i want.

Maybe Blogmaker aswell. Even though Byteflow has Threaded comments it restricts comments to only registered users which i don't want.

And i may look into django-diario

But i will just play with Banjo now.

EDIT: To play with Django i need to install 5 other packages. I'm adding a new requirement to the blog application i need, easily configurable, download change settings.py with correct paths, create database, run syncdb and start server (built in server), start Blogging. I don't want to go hunting for more packages.
