I’ve switched my blog from Mephisto to thoth .

I’m a huge fan of simplicity and really like the way this little blog engine works. Written using the Ramaze Ruby web application framework which I mentioned in my previous post, it outperforms Mephisto by a looooong shot! The admin interface is also integrated into the main site as contextual toolbar icons, unlike other blog engines, which have separate and often over-complicated admin interfaces. Sweet :-)

There are a few features which I’d like to see included in thoth, like modifying the post date, page categories and blog post categories. Fortunately thoth appears to be simple to extend through plugins, so I will be tweaking things in future. In the meantime, I will have to resort to manually changing the blog post times of my previous posts which were created while using Mephisto.
