## Notes

Typecho is a blogging platform in PHP with a plugin and theme mechanism. It is the successor to an earlier open-source blog engine, Magike, according to its about page. The release is a zip archive extracted into the web root of a PHP-capable server, and the installer then runs in the browser. The Typecho team maintains it, with the source on GitHub.

## Worth knowing

The [installation guide](https://docs.typecho.org/guide/getting-started/installation) says the master branch holds unreleased changes and is not for production sites. Use the tagged releases for a live site.
