A simple clojure based blog. Uses the filesystem to store blog entries. The project used to use mysql, but I kept accidentally deleting the mysql database.

I'm a web application developer, I can't use someone else blogging software. A shoemaker should wear his own shoes. A simple blogging application is pretty straightforward and I get to design and I get to craft a solution that meets my exact needs.

For the blog author, entries can be created by "logging in" using a special URL with a password, then the blog author can create a blog entry including the ability to upload images. The idea being to keep the effort required to create an entry low.

My intention is that this application can be easily reused by others. I intend to use it for multiple blogs myself (one for me, and a separate blog about my kids, and some project specific blogs), so I will strive to keep the configuration and customization straightforward.

I imagine the ideal end user would be another developer who is familiar with clojure. They might just look at this project to see how something is done, or may customize it to suit their own specific needs.

Modify the config.edn, db.edn (which really should be parametrized), and deploy to Tomcat.

To start a web server for the application, run:

lein ring server

- image upload and handling
- use markdown formatting
- labels / rss (add #Bla on the title, and then access /rss/Bla as rss feed)

- better user/dev docs (need to test by asking another developer to try using)
- document deployment (or example)
- email subscription
- comments
- entry preview ?
