About Clinklog
Clinklog is a static site generator that can do some less usual things for you. For instance, quickly and easily push short updates to the front page of a website, automatically reflected in a newsfeed. Or turn a list of links into a nice public collection, complete with tags and descriptions. Clinklog runs offline and outputs clean web pages you can publish anywhere. Before export, your blog is kept in an SQLite database that a variety of tools can read and write.
Credit where credit is due: Clinklog is inspired by BashBlog. The name can be construed to be a pun on Command Line Interface, but I was simply thinking of a nice sound and the software's intended use. Special thanks to Oleo from Mushpark.com for testing, suggestions, patches and overall encouragement.
As of June 2020, you should use Clinklog 2.x instead. The 1.x line won't receive any more updates. You can trivially import existing blogs into the new format.
Download Clinklog
Clinklog r1.6 (20K) is the current version as of 14 January 2019. It's open source under the MIT license, and only requires a Python runtime to work, version 3.2 or newer, including the standard library.
For now, Clinklog uses a command-line interface, so you'll also need a terminal emulator, Command Prompt or the like. Last but not least, the ability to publish files on a web server, e.g. via FTP.
