What is GreyMatter?
Greymatter is a Web-based tool for the creation of weblogs (regularly-updated news- or journal-type sites) or online journals, allowing complete control over your weblog/journal while supporting such features as:
the ability for users to post comments to your entries or cast "karma" votes on them
no database used or required whatsoever
a template-based system that allows you to fully customise every aspect of your site's look and function, great or small
support for multiple weblog/journal authors, with fully-controllable individual access
a ban system for preventing malicious users from voting or posting on your site
nearly a hundred template variables that allow for extremely flexible styles and setups
easy and complete editing of any entry (including its comments) at any time
runs completely on your own account and is thus under your full control at all times
and, of course, "more"!
What is needed to run GreyMatter?
Perl is the primary technology used. If your webserver can run perl/cgi scripts, then it can probably handle GM. GM is known to run on Apache, Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows.
Ok, sign me up, how do I install GreyMatter?
Simply download the latest application bundle (zip or tar.gz) and inside you will find all the files you need, including an install document (gm_install.html) and a user manual (gm_manual.html) as well as a Cookbook for solving common issues (gm_cookbook.html).
The GreyMatter software is available from links on this site, the GreyMatter Forum.
