Thanks!
I installed Drivel yesterday and I use it on my Fedora Core 6 system – with KDE as the desktop environment.
Needless to say, you need to use “su yum install drivel” instead of “sudo apt ..”.
I wonder if there are any plugins for drivel? I would really like one that allows comments or such on Wordpress, even though my main blog is hosted at blogspot.
Just curious where I could find plugins, but drivel itself is simple and clean, very elegant!
Hi! I was surfing and found your blog post… nice! I love your blog. :) Cheers! Sandra. R.
This is awesome. Thank you.
