SimpleLog

Sick of having to manage a CMS when you're blogging? Just not cool with mainstream tools such as Movable Type or WordPress? SimpleLog could be for you.

Coded in Ruby-on-Rails and made for simplicity, the point of SimpleLog is that you spend your time writing. Yet, it's not lacking in your usual feature sets such as feeds, pretty permalinks, boolean logic, multiple authors, and other things needed for.... yes, you got it: writing.

It even comes with built-in spam protection! Open source and looking to those just wanting to write and not wanting to mess with a whole slew of administrative work.
