FlatPress Blog System

I noticed this blog system a few years ago and even installed it on two different domains. One domain was running php version 5.6.x and the other one php version 7.4.x. In both cases Flatpress ran with no problems. I started using it and then thought that if the blog system became popular, the fact that it is a flat file system would eventually slow it down. Based on that assumption, I started looking around for a database driven system.

As you might expect, there are quite a few database driven blog systems out there. Some are open source but most of the “good ones” come at a price. Not knowing if the blog was going to be popular enough to warrant paying for it, I decided to stick with some of the open source systems. Well, as you notice I am back to using Flatpress because it is definitely the better one of the ones that are out there. So, I will keep at this and see what happens.
