Blog software?
If this has been asked and answered ... sorry. I searched the forum and didn't find enough information.
I'm looking for blogging software. My university has a "personal" web site where students and others can update their personal web pages. I want to put a blog on mine. As far as I can tell I can't run a lot of scripts via my site. The only allowed scripts are the ones the IT people provide like page hit counts and other relics of the internet. I think I can only upload static pages via sftp.
A lot of blogging software I've looked at either a) only hooks into major blog sites or b) requires server side scripts to enter pages and make HTML for readers. So I'd have to run it on my own server which I don't have.
I tried some of the blog softwares. One of which was Blosxom. I had a hard time with it and also it seemed like it required server side scripting.
Any help?

Also check out FeedBurner and RapidWeaver.
If I were you, I'd just use Blogger and have it published to your site.

I just heard back from them and NO I can't use mySQL or php. They let certain groups and departments use it but not individuals. They say the blogs that I see on the individual web pages are either redirects or flattened HTML.
OK. That rules out pretty much everything that's cool. I'd just use blogger and have it publish to your site via FTP.
Check versiontracker.com
They team up!
You could probably make an Automator flow to look for certain emails your machine receives and to format and upload them to your website.
I looked at iBlog a white ago and didn't like it. I'll try it again.

Check this out. In asking the IT people how to get Blogger to ftp to my own site ... they decided to block all all FTP from Blogger to my campus. F****** brilliant. They don't want people giving blogger passwords. It makes sense but considering they have no alternative IT people are the kings of CAN'T DO.

Why do you want to use your campus space in the first place?

I guess because it's mine.
Yeah, but that's sort of like trying to get blood from a stone at this point. If you want to have a blog, set up a blog. Either use blogger or buy some server space somewhere (I use textdrive). There's no reason you can't just link from your uni space.
I use Lunarpages and i have been very happy. You can PM me if you want more info.
I know enough HTML to know I don't want to bother with HTML. Besides I'm no web site designer.
Thanks all for your suggestion.
