I made a blog for each member of my family, but my sister [0] is the only one that actually uses it. It's let me keep up with her. When I made it for her, I told her to just write in it every time she wanted to write a book since she has said she wants to do that some point in life. She has started to use it for other things now, such as coping with grief or expressing joy at times in her own way, which is cool because she asked me to add categories after a couple years of use.

I like it: just posts/categories/rss. It looks nice and loads fast. Does it use an existing CMS or did you roll your own blog engine for it?
Made in Django. She wanted to have posts not published and wanted auto save if she was typing and incase had her laptop/cell die, so I added those feautres as well. And django has rss and summernote is a decent enough editor. So was quick, fast, and stable to setup. No issues in years.
This is pretty cool :)
Thanks
