is a simple but flexible blogging software.
It aims for making fast blogging possible without the overhead of WYSIWYG editors and post management. Just write your content and publish it!

• Write posts using Markdown syntax. Or just mix in some HTML.
• No usermanagement, no WYSIWYG, no categories, no tags - just write!
• Style your posts your way! The only thing on post-pages is the post, nothing else.
• Oh, there are comments, too.

• Download a package from the <NeatBlog> Project Page
• Unpack it on your server and point your domain to the web directory
• Let the webserver write into log, cache, data and web/uploads
• Put your database configuration into config/databases.yml (see databases.yml.example)
• Put your blog configuration into config/app.yml (see app.yml.example)
  If your ever change your config, clear the cache directory or run ./symfony cc
• Run ./symfony doctrine:migrate to build your database
• Secure the backend directory somehow (e.g. HTTP Auth via .htaccess)

If you got the source from github, make sure to remove the dev directory from your installation. The development controller offer in depth information about your configuration.

Do ONLY let the web folder be accessible through the web.
Otherwise everyone will be able to read your database configuration by just calling http://your-domain.com/config/databases.yml from the web.

View http://your-domain.com for your new blog or http://your-domain.com/backend for writing new content.

Check our wiki for a FAQ and available console commands.

• Get the latest code via download or update via Git. Remember to keep your config files and web/uploads directory.
• Check the config/app.yml for any new config values.
• Run ./symfony doctrine:migrate to update your database.
• Clear your cache.
