Pure Blog is a simple, flat‑file blogging platform with a Markdown‑first editor and a lightweight admin area. It stores posts and pages as Markdown files on disk—no database required.
- Flat-file content using Markdown and front matter.
- A clean, distraction-free admin dashboard for writing and organising posts/pages.
- Draft previews so you can check your work before publishing.
- Optional tags and tag archives for grouping related posts.
- Automatic pagination when your post list grows long.
- An RSS feed so readers can follow along however they like.
- Built-in search that helps readers find exactly what they’re looking for.
- A settings page that allows you to customise and configure your blog.
All you need to run Pure Blog is a host that supports PHP (pretty much all of them do). Once you have that, all you need to do is:
- Download the Pure Blog package.
- Extract the zip file and upload the contents to your web server.
- Visit the URL of your blog and setup will automatically start.
- Once your site is setup, visit
/adminand login to your new blog.
Posts live in content/posts and pages live in content/pages. When images are uploaded they are stored in /content/images/[post/page-slug].
- Pure Blog is intentionally minimal and designed for personal sites.
- HTML in Markdown is supported.
