simple config file

blog_title    = C大调
blog_subtitle = 野猫不吃薯片
host_name     = jinjing.easymic.com
author_email  = nfjinjing@gmail.com

navigation    = About
per_page      = 7
sidebar       = Blogroll.md
favicon       = panda_icon.png

clear separation of code and data

theme structure through, for example, db/config/theme/blueprint.txt:

container  = container
header     = column span-12 first
navigation = column span-12 first large
main       = column span-9 first
sidebar    = column span-3 last
footer     = footer

css        = screen, blueprint-wp, custom
js         = jquery-1.2.6.min, custom

theme styling inside, for example, db/public/theme/blueprint, where all theme specific resources, e.g. css/js/images, are hosted.

standard web technology

extend/customize with pure css and javascript ( note the custom part in css and js from the last section )

hacker friendly

posts are in plain text
SCM for publishing / data managing ( not really a feature, but a design goal from the beginning )
blindly follow the KISS principle from code to UI: be a simple blog, no more no less
