Kids blog

We went to America to visit family for a month, and I wanted a way for my kids (10 and 8) to post about their trip to their family and friends here in Australia.

So I built a little blogging engine, as you do.

They decided what to say and show, and I helped them post.

I'm quite happy with the system. Posting is just adding a markdown file to a Dropbox folder. Images can be uploaded by running a shortcut on the iPhone, which resizes and moves them to the right place. The system maintains and index and updates the front page automatically.
