DotClear Features

Publishing

 Code conforms to the W3C standards, including XHTML 1.0 - Ability to parse the content with XML technologies, like XSLT. Better content accessibility for the visitors using nonconventional accesses (mobile phones, Braille parsers, Screen readers, PDAs...).
 Use of CSS - Change of the look and feel of all the pages of the site is very easy, by modifying only one central document, the style sheet. Reduction of the band-width used and the download times.
 URL significant - For a better indexing and an intuitive access, the articles have URLs with the format: /blog/year/month/day/id-title. (In conformity with principle URL as UI )
 RSS and Atom feeds - The presence of RSS and Atom feeds makes it possible for the users of RSS readers to follow the update of the blog from their favorite software.
 Complete trackbacks - With the trackbacks you can react to an article of another blog and alert it, in an almost automatic way, about your reaction.
 Complete unicode support - The unicode support makes it possible to publish texts using alphabets different from traditional Latin. It is thus possible to publish in Japanese, Russian, Arab, etc; with nothing to do before.

Management

 Multi-user levels - A system of levels makes it possible to define advanced writers, administrators, or writers, each one with different privileges. For example, a "simple" writer sees only his posts, whereas the "advanced" writer can manage the categories. The administrator has the possibility to create new accounts.
 Multilingual interface - Each user can choose the language in which he wishes to see the management interface of the blog.
 Flexible comments - Each post can be commented, DotClear offers the option to activate the comments post by post. It is of course possible to remove or correct comments.
 Wiki syntax and (X)HTML - To adapt to a broad audience, it is possible to enter the posts and their layout according to two syntaxes: Wiki (very simple but powerful syntax) or (X)HTML (for the users familiar with this language).
 Support of XML/RPC clients - You can edit the weblog from third party applications. DotClear entirely supports the MovableType API.

Technical aspects

 Use of MySQL and PHP 4.1+ - Will work on most of the providers, free or not, offering maximum independence with the provider hosting the Blog.
 Object Ortiented Programing - Modular and extensible application.
 Paranoiac author ;-) - Extremely securised application.

Others

 Specialized - DotClear was done only for weblogs management, and do it well.
 Completely free - DotClear is a free software distributed under the GNU General Public License.
