log1k is an experimental and insanely minimal blog system that fits snugly into 1024 bytes (exactly 1 kilobyte). Pronounce it either log-one-kay or logic. I, Fraxtil, wrote it in about one hour. It is mostly HTML5-compatible, but not completely (at least I do not think it is). It stores all data- including the password- in a file called .ht1k, which is usually automatically forbidden on Apache, but may be accessible on other web servers. Be wary of this. Some other notes: apostrophes are 'escaped' by default in PHP; this can be overridden in php.ini, if I recall correctly. It also has very little input sanitation- line breaks and whatnot require typing the actual HTML, and scripts could easily be injected. It is up to the blog writer to discern what HTML to use and what not to. RSS feeds, comments, editing and deleting entries, more complex stylesheets, and changing the password are all nonexistent features... but what do you expect from a blog whose source code is the same size as the text you just read? :)
