It has been a long time since I have posted something on here and it has a good reason. Somehow my Apache doesn’t like the CGI my blog software uses and decided to spit out “Error 500″ messages most of the time. The solution would be to make my blog static html, well no problem there, except that I would lose my ability to get comments. So I’ve made two small additions and one change to my blog:
- Added:A comment ‘plugin’ which enables comments while the blog is in static mode. It only has some standard Perl dependencies, so it should be able to run everywhere where Perl is installed.
- Added: A create-a-blog-entry page which is also written in Perl and has some standard Perl dependencies. It’s quite nasty, since it enables anyone to write blog entries. I have secured it a little bit by putting a username and password as a MD5 hash in the file and added a list of allowed IP’s.
- Changed: The blog was changed from dynamic (CGI) mode to static mode.
Note: This entry was written with the create-a-blog-entry page
