subtext
Function: noun
- The meaning (as of a literary text)

Subtext is a blog engine that focuses on usability, elegance, and simplicity. If you've ever caught yourself throwing your hands in the air and declaring that you're going to write your own blogging engine, then Subtext is for you.
The guiding philosophy behind Subtext is to remove hindrances to online expression. A blogging platform should be easy to understand, set up, and use.
Subtext is an open source project licensed under the BSD license. It is a fork of the popular .TEXT blogging platform.

Technical Difficulties... Please Stand By¶
If you're wondering why things look a little different around here, the Subtext Project Website experienced a bit of data loss due to the ineptitude of its caretaker, me. We are working hard to rectify the situation and will be rebuilding our documentation bit by bit. The content archive we're trying to restore is in a mildly consumable format.
If you are interested in helping to develop Subtext, please visit the Subtext on Google Code Subtext Google Code page where our developer wiki lives.
