Greymatter is the original opensource weblogging and journal software. With fully-integrated comments, searching, file uploading and image handling, completely customisable output through dozens of templates and variables, multiple author support, and many other features—while having perhaps the simplest installation process and easiEST-to-use interface of any program offering this level of functionality—
Greymatter permanently raised the bar for weblogging and journaling, and it remains the program of choice for tens of thousands of people around the world.
For anyone interested in creating an online weblog or journal,
Greymatter offers a new level of power and control. Take a look at the features that
Greymatter offers:
Runs On Your Account—
Greymatter runs completely on your own server at all times, and is always under your full control; you're never dependent on the reliability (or privacy reassurances) of any outside source whatsoever.
Comment Posting—Make your weblog/journal come alive with the built-in ability for your users to add comments directly to your entries (no PHP/SQL database required); every Aspect of
Greymatter's comments are completely customisable and controllable.
One-Click Bookmarklets (Internet Explorer users only)—Now you can add a new entry to your
Greymatter site from anywhere on the web, instantly linking to any other site with one click.
Built-In Searching—
Greymatter now lets you add searching to your site to allow visitors to search through your entries (with fully-customisable output, of course), as well as the ability to perform internal searching from within
Greymatter—authorised authors can even easily search and replace text across all entries.
