I wrote my own blogging engine [1] back when there weren't many (any?) to choose from (started it in 1999), and geared the workflow of posting to my preferred method: email (although it helps that I run my own server) and I'm surprised that method isn't used more often.

I can also use a web interface if I am desperate, as well as adding an entry as a file (the email interface is similar to the file mechanism---it just pulls the entry out of the body of the email).

Granted, the language I used is rather unorthodox, but it works.

A C-based Apache httpd blogging engine using email to create the blog entries... Sweet.

Reading the source and discovering:

  WTF?  This isn't a WTF.  This is a debugging technique.
Hard core! :-)
