A simple and easy to use, yet powerful blog for GetSimple. With this plugin, you can create blog posts, sort posts by category, view posts in monthly archives, plus much more.
This version of GetSimple Blog is a fork of the original GS Blog 1.5 plugin by @mikeh and is now being actively developed and maintained by John Stray and a team of translators. As many issues as I could find in the original version have been fixed now, plus a lot of functionality has been added with plenty more additions still to come.
More information about this project, including what the future holds for it, the changelog from when we took over, the main documentation plus info on all the developers who have joined the project can be found on this website.
