Back in college I used PHPosxom, which was "inspired" by Blosxom but I guess dynamically created pages instead of statically generating them (and of course used PHP instead of Perl, useful if PHP was more accessible/functional on your shared hosting). https://sourceforge.net/projects/phposxom/ Of course the project is super dead now.

Here's my old homepage using PHPosxom, which would be valid XHTML 1.0 if the Swarthmore College Computing Society hadn't started injecting analytics into my web site: https://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/06/nelson/
