Welcome to PHP.Bot Blogger, where I am revitalizing the essence of traditional blogging. In my opinion, WordPress has devolved from a popular blogging platform into a complex and "Freeware/Adware" loaded content management system (CMS), PHP.Bot Blogger seeks to recapture the simplicity and focus that defined the early days of blogging. While WordPress, once a premier tool for quality content creation, has become a go-to for quick and inexpensive websites, often at the expense of thoughtful design and effective blogging, PHP.Bot Blogger stands in contrast. I offer a streamlined, lightweight, and high-performance blogging experience that prioritizes content creation over development hassles.

My mission is to offer a focused and efficient blogging tool that provides all the essential features out of the box, without the need for numerous plugins. Having worked on the WordPress project around 2004, I understand both its strengths and its shortcomings. My goal is to create an ideal blogging platform for writers who prioritize content creation over quick monetization. Crafting a great site takes time and the right ingredients. Unlike other platforms burdened with extensive CMS features, PHP.Bot is designed with a singular purpose: to make blogging straightforward and enjoyable again. This platform is inherently search engine friendly, ensuring that your content is easily discoverable without requiring extensive technical knowledge or additional plugins.

 

A list of the current features:

  • Basic visitor stats
  • SEO management automation (tags, sef urls, meta tags, robot control, ect)
  • Create, edit, delete and clone Post, manage post attachments
  • Create and edit post WYSISYG via TinyMCE with uploads and kitchen sink.
  • Assign post to be the homepage and the canonical url turns into the homepage url for that post.
  • New and Edit post character counting via ajax
  • Html, Css and Rss Sitemap generators that spider the full site and ignore external links.
  • Optional ad locations built in, such as in-article ads. Still working on getting it to wear it feels right, so a work in progress.
  • Random articles widget, Newest articles widget
  • Responsive design using html5 and Bootstrap for CSS.

 

Coming soon:

  • Page management
  • Page convert to post
  • Post convert to page
  • WYSIWYG Ajax file uploads will be altered to be managed by the attachment manager instead of being saved in a generic directory. Each post’s files will be placed into a dedicated directory specific to the post ID, making future deletion and management easier.
  • themes capability
  • more widgets
  • post categories
  • custom menu management
