Wow, that was quick, after figuring out byteflow likes the latest and greates django version, I felt so free to clone the git repository. If only I had used git svn to clone the svn repository…
So the timelag between the svn and git repositry gave me a 500 for pretty much every page:
The source of all trouble was
global name ‘QuerySetPaginator’ is not defined
on like 48 in django/trunk/django/views/generic/list_detail.py
this has been fixed alread in the svn repository.
Lesson learned: use only official repositories.
So, how do you start a blog? I’ll begin with “Hello World!” or what comes close to it: “Hi everyone!”
Blog Choice
After the trouble with Typo, Mephisto and Wordpress, that never really got me hooked, I will try byteflow this time. I chose byteflow, because it is written using Django and it’s quick setup.
I have been playing around with Django now for over a year and never found the time to write a blog engine myself so it somehow seemed to fit. There are other blog engines written using Django as well, the most prominent is likely coltrane. Being written by James Bennett make is a resonable choice as well.
The final straw was the fact that it took me about 30 seconds to get byteflow up and running whereas it took a bit longer for coltrane. Furthermore byteflow is an all-in-one solution while coltrane follows the Django philosophy of being a pluggable app. But this time I don’t have the resources and will (for now) to roll my own setup.
