Personal Weblog System

The Personal Weblog System is a perl script that works as some kind of personal journal and text file station. Think of a very basic weblog tool which get mixed up with a online text editor. The main difference to other weblog systems is, that you add new entries from the same page you read the entries. This page is password protected, that’s why it is a “personal” weblog system. And you can add, view and edit your own text files online.
