Thanks for the info. Looks like LOTS of recommendations for blosxom! I
edited my /etc/apt/sources.list to point to both Debian Stable and Debian
Testing and installed via "apt-get install blosxom". Looks like a winner!
I started putting together a home page with hyperlinks to SquirrelMail
(for family e-mail) and blosxom. It'll take a while to do a good homepage,
but the tools are there and connected. WooHoo!
On a sidenote, my 7 year old son came home early from 2nd grade today with
a temperature. What a BAD day for a kid to be sick!
