Enablng email notifications.<br /> 2. Long Post names (names that include the title of the post -- which is much better for search engines (ie Google).<br /> <br /> See <a href="http://www.laliluna.de/blog/2007/02/01/blogs_pebble_tomcat_installation.html">http://www.laliluna.de/blog/2007/02/01/blogs_pebble_tomcat_installation.html</a> for help on #1.<br /> <br /> For #2.

So I eventually decided to see what's out there is Open Source land. I specifically wanted something in Java technologies - because that's what I use most of the time, and I have Tomcat servers available to use.<br /> <br /> I tried out <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/jspblog">JSPBLOG </a>- particularly because it stores the blog data in MySQL, which is my prefered storage for pretty much all data. JSPBLOG didn't work out ofthe box -- how could it without the appropriate information for locating a MySQL database. There seemed to be no installation instructions and no indication of the problem. It just gave a blank page.<br /> <br /> I tried Pebble. It didn't say where it kept the data, although by implication it isn't MySQL.&nbsp; But it was a dream to install - less than the 5 minutes claimed, and doing nothing complicated. (Assuming, that it is, you have a Tomcat server :-) and you know what you are doing with Tomcat.)<br /> <br /> It came up straightaway and appeared to be fully functional. It has an impressive amount of function, and, when considered with all the related open source components is a wonderful example of open source at its best. programming pebble http://www.davepullin.com:80/2008/06/01/this_website_is_based_on_pebble.html#comments http://www.davepullin.com:80/2008/06/01/this_website_is_based_on_pebble.html Mon, 02 Jun 2008 00:51:00 GMT
