About Dotclear

Dotclear is a blogging tool that lets you publish content without unnecessary complexity. It runs on PHP and MySQL or PostgreSQL, and it gives you full control over your site's appearance with a template system based on standard HTML and CSS. The software has been around since 2002 and is maintained by a small community of developers who value clean code and user autonomy.

You can manage multiple blogs from one installation, use categories and tags to organize posts, and extend functionality with plugins. Dotclear supports trackbacks, pingbacks, and RSS/Atom feeds. It includes a media manager, a WYSIWYG editor, and import tools for WordPress and other platforms. The admin interface is lightweight and works in any modern browser.

Dotclear is ideal for bloggers who want a straightforward, self-hosted solution without the bloat of larger CMSes. It is released under the GPL version 2 and is free to use. The project is developed by a French team and has a dedicated user base, particularly in French-speaking countries.
