Blash is a blog engine (mostly) written in bash.

Blash is not only a simple Blog generator, but also a powerfull tool to create complex sites with its template engine.
As the generated site is purely static, you could publish it where ever you want.

Some examples of sites generated by Blash :

• Template : Furry (this is the default one)
• Template : Timeline
• Template : Legacy (reworked)
• Template : Legacy (old)

License

This software is a fork on the modification I did on baker made by taylorchu. The original version has been released under GPL2. So, Blash is also under GPLv2. But, all subsequent modifications, I did, have been published under the dual license DSSL & WTFPL. All the future modifications will be released under the dual license DSSL & WTPFL and the original work in GPLv2.

Please consults Blash Licenses.
