Django Blogging Apps

Posted on December 30, 2007

People ask about blogging apps for the Django platform all the time. I have not investigated each and every one of these, but so far I still feel pretty confident that not one of these is fully baked (although some are getting close) in any sort of manner comparable to something like WordPress or Typo. That said, there’s a lot of great code here, and if you’re not interested in creating your own, use one of the following.

Banjo

basic blog

Blogango

Blogmaker

Byteflow Blog Engine

Coltrane

django-diario

Flother

Zangetsu

In addition to the above I highly recommend reading James Bennett’s excellent post on Where is Django’s blog application?

If I missed yours and you are still maintaining it, please let me know and I’ll update the list.

    I think Zangetsu is not bad too. http://svn.pardus.org.tr/projeler/zangetsu/

    I’m gonna start with Basic-Blog myself and work from there. I just like the idea behind the “basic” apps collection.

    Although Coltrane, BlogMaker and Flother are the other’s I’m looking at as well.

    good list.

    Yet another blog application (a lot of features, several sites using it, several developers): byteflow. Trac project is here http://trac.piranha.org.ua
