Utterson is a bunch of scripts used for powering my blog, you could also call it a blog engine or blog compiler. Utterson currently supports creating paged listings of posts with an atom feed, separate pages for posts, handling of tags with their own atom feeds and sitemap support. The goals were * to make it as simple as possible: A blogauthor simply creates the raw html post content with his prefered editor (authors recommendation: emacs’ muse mode.), * use only basic unix tools (there are similar tools like blosxom, written in various scripting languages). With Utterson the html files are assembled using the m4 macro processor, which is driven by a bunch of shell scripts, which in turn are controlled by a self-generating Makefile. * minimizing security risks by creating only static files * avoid server-side processing.
