Blog Software
This is a listing of weblog (aka. diary or news) software which is OpenSource and doesn't require a SQL backend.
MatthewThomas (from NewZealand I discovered) talks about the perfect weblog. A good check list of things to consider.

http://www.tdiary.org/ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdiary/ for those who can't read Japanese --GeneMerrill)

- Nanoblogger
(BashShell) Quite a full featured and pretty all shell blog.
