A while back I switched my blog from Blosxom to Typo. Typo is really spiffy but I am not a fan of HTML edit boxes, so I looked for good blog posting software. I didn't find any, and certainly none that was free, and I was really comfortable with writing my posts using Markdown in vim, so I decided to write my own. Thus was born flog, so named because it rhymes with blog and reflects the true effect that my blog has upon the world.

From the README:

Run flog and edit the post template in $EDITOR. When done, save and exit $EDITOR and your post will be submitted.

I finally got around to adding the pieces to make it robust enough for general consumption, and so I am releasing it. You can find it at http://hans.fugal.net/src/flog.

Flog uses the MetaWebLog API, so it should work with a variety of blog software.
