Hi, I just upgraded my server, and set up everything again. Except wordpress, as 1) I'm not too fond of its user interface, and 2) it's a big pile of PHP, difficult to keep updated, and basically a disaster waiting to happen (and in fact, it was hacked at one point). Before I enable it again, is there any alternatives I should consider? Preferably written in Haskell, of course, but other suggestions welcome as well. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants

Hi, Have a look at Hakyll[1] [1]: http://jaspervdj.be/hakyll/ Mihai

http://gitit.net/ ...has git and darcs storage. http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Web/Content_Management There is also orchid: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/orchid-0.0.6 https://github.com/sebastiaanvisser/orchid https://github.com/sebastiaanvisser/orchid-doc which I recall was quite pretty, but I cannot find an online demo.

Not in Haskell, but it looks really promising (and it's driven by version control), I give you Octopress: http://octopress.org/ It's basically jekyll + github. Who knows, maybe you can use Hakyll instead of jekyll. Since you didn't ask for it, I'll include my $0.02 :) I don't worry about my blog being written in Haskell because I don't actually want to spend any time shaving yaks related to running my blog. I use blogspot. It's not great but I pay $0/year and someone else deals with the issues of keeping it secure, keeping it backed up, etc. If you find a cool solution, let us know. Jason
Did someone mention hakyll already ? For the record, this is a nice recent blog built with it: http://www.skybluetrades.net/posts/2011/10/21/hakyll-setup.html

Yes, Mihai, but thanks for the link. I'll probably check it out when I'm back from vacation. Alistair: I'm already using gitit, but I think it's usage is a bit different. Jason: I know about the various services, but I prefer to host it myself. Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll let you know how it goes! -k (Shaver of yaks) -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
Reviving an old thread, since I owe some answers:

I ended up with hakyll, but haven't had a lot of time to work on this. Here are some small tweaks, though -- partly framed as a response to Twan van Laarhoven's recent post: http://blog.malde.org/posts/hakyll-mods.html -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
