Serendipity weblog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Serendipity (www.s9y.org) is a blog publishing system written in PHP and backed by a MySQL or a PostgreSQL database. It is distributed under the BSD License and is available free of charge. The latest version is 1.0.3.
Serendipity is designed to support a single weblog per installation, but multiple blogs can run on the same server, even on the same database, by placing a subset of the files into separate directories and linking the remaining files (known as shared installation).
