This software aims to provide a lot of power to the web admin who is running the blog site.
Customisation is unlimited with a bit of knowledge of EJS and CSS, you can edit the entire formatting of the pages, making the site truly yours!
This software also aims to be compatible with text based browsers and as a result contains no client side Javascript, if you're looking for a more
beautiful and featureful blogging frontend, this isn't for you.
