Snurf 0.2

[Mark Rowe]

I am pleased to announce Snurf 0.2, the first released version of my 
Python-based blogging system. It differs from many similar systems in 
that it uses the file-system for data storage, and generates static 
HTML files which are then served by a standard web-server.

Features
--------
Snurf sports support for the `Movable Type`_ XML->RPC interface that is 
commonly used by blogging clients to create and edit posts.  Thanks to 
a contribution to a contribution from `David Creemer`_ it also supports 
the MetaWeblog interface used to upload images and other media content.

By leveraging the power of the `Cheetah templating library_` it is 
incredibly simple to radically change the look and feel of Snurf's 
output.  The default template, as seen on the `Snurf website`_, is 
intelligently structured so that the look of the website can be changed 
entirely through CSS.

Download
--------
Snurf 0.2 is available for `download`_.  Installation instructions are 
provided in the included `README.txt`_.
