Typecho
Blogging platform written in PHP, with a plugin and theme mechanism.
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 says the master branch holds unreleased changes and is not for production sites. Use the tagged releases for a live site.
