Blink is a small public-access blog engine. It supports running multiple blogs. It displays a main page and links for accessing older posts. It allows a reader to search for posts. Each blog can be oldest post first or newest post first. Any blog can be set to take public posts or allow comments. Admin functions include archiving all blogs and the viewing and deleting of new posts and comments. Posts can also utilize a semiotic bolding of definitions and automatic linking to all definitions. All functionality is in one CGI file under 10 kb.

Recent releases


Release Notes: The admin.cgi which pulls the error log, Blink's write log, and any other tinybashcgi log has been updated.


Release Notes: The decode function no longer uses a temporary file. A problem in some environments with conversion of "+" to " " is fixed.


Release Notes: A logical error that prevented comments in non-open blogs was fixed.


Release Notes: The TEMPLATE constant was introduced. If set to true, Blink injects user supplied files for the top and bottom of the page and does not inject any other HTML outside of the entries. This allows users to have their own templates, which can then introduce CSS and other Web features.


Release Notes: This release introduces a PRE switch. If PRE is used, then submissions are bounded by HTML pre-tags and content is blocked if it contains HTML tags. If PRE is off, submissions may contain HTML. The example blog has been reworked.
