FlatPress

Flat-file PHP blogging engine that stores its content in files instead of a database.

FlatPress is a blogging engine written in PHP. It stores all content in files, so it needs no database, and it runs on any web server with PHP. Installation is a manual upload followed by the web installer. Themes use Smarty templates. The project’s wiki is its documentation, and it also lists plugins.
