Hello,
I started an open source GAE project called votay. The idea is to
make Votay the "Wordpress of GAE." There are 1000's of bloggers
paying for PHP/mysql hosting and using wordpress that would come over
to GAE if Wordpress would run here. They would gain:
1) free hosting
2) ability to scale if their blog traffic ever spikes
You can see an example blog at
http://www.votay.com/
It's far from ready to compete with Wordpress yet. I still have lots
of work to do on the admin interface. But all the images and content
are being stored in a DataStore, not coming from a static folder. I
tried to find other open source GAE blogging projects and only saw
these 7:
http://github.com/jie/jieblog
http://code.google.com/p/smalog/
http://code.google.com/p/niubi/
http://code.google.com/p/ytblog/
http://code.google.com/p/cpedialog/
http://github.com/anotherjesse/fobliki
http://bloog.billkatz.com/
Does anyone know of others I missed? If there already is a Wordpress
like blogging system for GAE that I just don't know about, please let
me know! Thanks.

The MVC framework that I have created for AppEngine comes with a
blogging demo application. The framework, MVCEngine, is hosted on
Google Code:
http://code.google.com/p/gae-mvc-engine/
The blogging app is in the demo subdirectory. My personal blog,
blog.adamcrossland.net runs on this software.

Woah! That was odd! I redeployed, and everything is OK again. I can't
imagine what had gone wrong there.
Thanks for the heads-up, Overmind.

No problem, I know how irritating it is to have one of my sites
