help Bludit FAQ

Can Bludit run without MySQL or another database?

Yes. Bludit is a flat-file CMS that stores content in JSON files, so a basic installation does not require MySQL or another database server.

What kind of web hosting does Bludit need?

Bludit is a PHP-based CMS that runs on a web server able to execute PHP and serve its files. Its flat-file design makes deployment simpler than a database-backed CMS, but it still needs a working PHP hosting environment.

Can Bludit pages be written in Markdown?

Yes. Bludit supports both Markdown and HTML and offers Markdown and WYSIWYG editing options. Themes and plugins can extend the site without changing the core flat-file model.

How is Bludit different from Ghost?

Bludit is a lightweight, self-hosted PHP CMS whose content lives in JSON files, while Ghost is a separate publishing platform with its own application and theme system. Bludit should therefore be treated as a simple file-based CMS, not as a Ghost-compatible installation.
