Static Site Generator with integrated CMS

BlogManager is a Windows application that combines the functions of a CMS with those of typical static site generator.
You can write or edit your posts (that we call Articles) and pages in a simple and strightforwad way as if you were typing into a notebook. This allows you to focus in your content rather than be distracted with the fusses of how your page will appear.

Besides arranging a few template files to suit your needs and taste, you just click Add new and you are ready to go and write your content.
You can also add a category, and a set of keywords (tags) so BlogManager and Search engines will know what your content is about, and be able to relate it with other content in your site.

What is a CMS?

BlogManager is a Content Management System and Static website generator, or CMSS for short. Static doesn't mean the opposite of dynamic in this case, but that it is statically generated which means that it doesn't rely on a server side program to serve your pages. So it is faster to load and friendlier to crawl for search engines. Also it is harder to hack because the server is less exposed to possible flaws that may compromise its security.
Of course we are in the XXI century so you can still have some server side executable files such as registration forms.

Progressive Generation

flask Integrated Chemical Interpreter

Integrated progressive generation takes care of last modified date. In addition it features newest articles into recent sections.
Tags allow to correlate articles that are shown in the related section.

Includes automatic recognition of code keywords for syntax like C/C++/JavaScript:
if(x) return 0;
Basic: If OK Then
and HTML/XML markup:
<a href="hello">

Math interpreter allows to enter LaTex alike expressions and semantically rendered in math HTML:
$$\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{2} \times M}$$

$\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{2} \times M}$

The included chemical expression interpreter takes machem alike expressions that are rendered using math HTML:
$$ \ce{2SO2_(g) + O2_(g) + 2H2O_(l) -> 2H2SO4}$$

$2 S O_{2 (g)} + O_{2 (g)} + 2 H_{2} O_{(l)} \to 2 H_{2} S O_{4}$
