Pulse

Lightweight and deployable wherever PHP is available.

Very little setup is required to run Pulse. This lightweight framework is designed to be run on Apache + PHP hosting stacks and take less time to setup than Wordpress. The experience is comparable to other static blog engines such as Jekyll. Extract, write content, and serve.

Examples
