Blosxom Enhancements

Static Rendering
http://www.blosxom.com/documentation/users/configure/static.html
Since /cgi-bin/ is listed in robots.txt, my normal dynamic (on-the-fly) weblog won't be indexed by any search engines. Therefore, I have setup a static mirror of the weblog. Mostly works, except that the find plugin needs to use the live url.

moreentries
http://www.blosxom.com/plugins/display/moreentries.htm
Creates 'Next' and 'Previous' links when there are more entries than allowed on a page (as determined by the Blosxom config variable $num_entries). This doesn't affect date-style urls, since Blosxom ignores $num_entries for date urls. Great for search results (tested with 'find' plugin). Also provides template variables for showing which posts numbers are being displayed, etc.

NOTE: This version is NOT compatible with Static rendering due to the use of self_url() (which will lead to 'http://localhost/its/user8/j/johnm/WWW/cgi-bin/weblog?-password=xxx' in the generated html).

categorytree
http://www.blosxom.com/plugins/category/categorytree.htm
Show a tree style list of categories with blog counts.

NOTE: Use the Blosxom v2 categorytree version rather than the Blosxom v3 CategoryTree.pm version.

calendar
http://www.blosxom.com/plugins/calendar/calendar.htm
A classic weblog calendar with days linked to archived postings.

Our www-cgi server doesn't have Storable installed, so no caching of calendar information.
