Why the hype?

Some time ago, I’ve came across SimpleLog when I’ve found that a friend of mine was using it on his blog. Curious, I tried to find out more about SimpleLog and, to be honest, it seemed way too “simple” to me.

Back at that time, Typo has launched its version 4.0 and Mephisto was releasing the first public version. I installed Mephisto and was using it over the last couple of months.

Some days ago, I got tired about Mephisto and looked again into Simplelog. Guess what? It really surprised me! Simplelog has much more to offer than I was expecting: It is a very polished Rails blogging engine. It has a nice Administration Panel, lots of configurable options and some delicious details.

What caught my eye was, for sure, the live demo. Be sure to drop by and test it out. I’m sure you’ll love it.

From today, I’ll be blogging using SimpleLog and reviewing some of its features, what I like and what I’d change in it. Also, I’ll create a new theme for “Why the hype?”, making it unique and also trying to give away some love to Simplelog’s community.
