I've spent some time writing some custom blogging software for our trip. It is important that our whole family be able to share their experiences with loved ones at home and do so in a way that allow us to recreate our journey over time. Once we return, we'd like to to be able to review our progress day-by-day and understand how things really were as we were writing down our experiences.
This blog leverages node.js and express. It's fairly simple and does not include publisher tools. I want to teach my family how to use source control and how to edit raw document sources, so I'll be having the bunch post their experiences by committing and pushing markdown to github; hopefully this doesn't backfire.
I imagine that the underlying software will be a work-in-progress until the day we stop publishing.
