blogxq is a JavaScript library. blogxq has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This currently powers the blog on adamretter.org.uk, and has some specific hard-coded parts which suit that website well. However, it could be adapted to work as a generic blog for any website with a little work. This was originally written in a couple of days in a frenzy of hacking back in 2006 or 2007. Ideally there needs to be better separation of concerns between the logic and the UI. Some seperation exists in a kinda MVVM/MVC way where most of the presentation is in XSLT and the logic in XQuery, but there are some cross-overs. Ideally this should be re-written to use better templating. The code has some eXist-db (specific functions calls, but again these could be asbtracted without too much difficulty to make the code platform independent. The code is provided as an eXist-db database backup that may be restored. The entry point is which probably translates to on most development installations of eXist-db.
