I want to incorporate a blog into my site, however, I don''t want all the front-end, templating stuff that goes along with it. Simply, I want the admin management of the blog and then I will work the postings into the front-end. I have looked at Mephisto, Comatose, Typo, etc. and they all seem too heavyweight with themes and such. Nice applications but more than what I need. Short of writing this myself, is there a simple, lightweight blogging engine out there for RoR that doesn''t impose all the front end stuff?

Re: Blog engine without all the template and front-end stuff?
Hi Scott, Have you looked at SimpleLog? http://simplelog.net/ A Ruby on Rails weblog application that helps you focus on writing above all else. SimpleLog has all the features you want in a weblogging applicaton wrapped in an efficiently designed interface that eliminates clutter. By focusing on simplicity and usability, SimpleLog allows you to spend your time writing, rather than managing a convoluted CMS.

Hey Rob, SimpleLog does have a nice admin interface but I am looking for more of a plugin. I have an existing application that I want to add a blog to, rather than an entire site devoted to a Blog. Also, I don''t want to use themes, I already have all the CSS and site layout done.
