SPHPBlog is a simple PHP blog that uses flat files.

The main advantage of using Simple PHP Blog is that it only requires PHP 5 (or greater) and write permission on the server.

Unlike other blog software, there is almost no setup - just unzip and copy.

This blog uses flat text files. It does not require a database.

The main functionality of the blog is to present other people with the text and opinions that you would like to share. For this reason, the blog entries are shown on the very first page they visit.

Each entry consists of four main parts: the title, date entered, blog entry text and options specific to the entry.

There are two types of blog entry options: General and Moderator (logged in only). General options can be used by the anonymous viewing audience to interact with your blog. Moderator options are only seen when you are logged into your blog and cannot be access by the public.

The footer contains any information you wish (entered in Preferences) as well as the page generation time and unique site hit counter. The counters visibility can be toggled in the Preferences as well.
