Edit in Browser
While Blosxom's use of regular text files and folders lends itself to writing from the comfort of your favourite text editor, what if you don't have a favourite? What if you'd prefer to maintain your blog from right inside your Web browser?

You can, thanks to the wikieditish plug-in.

See that "edit" link associated with each posting? Click it to edit the entry via a simple browser-based form. Make any alterations you wish to the title or body and click the Save button when you're done.

You can just as easily create a new blog entry by pointing your browser at a non -existent filename, potentially on a non-existent path (e.g. /weblog/a/nonexistent/path/nonexistent_post.edit). Give the entry a title and body and click the Save button as before. The wikieditish plug-in will create a new blog entry for you on your specified path, creating the supplied path's folder structure for you on the fly if necessary.

This Blosxom installation restricts editing to the machine on which Blosxom is actually running. Others won't even see that "edit" button. You can at any time change this default, requiring a password or altering what machines (IP addresses) can edit your blog entries by reconfiguring the wikieditish plug-in (/Library/WebServer/Data/Blosxom/plugins/wikieditish).
