Lazyweb, please recommend good blog software that has the following features:

* Self-hosted (and supports being hosted in a subdirectory, e.g. example.com/blog)
* Supports Markdown and converts it to HTML on page load
* IS NOT just me editing static files directly

(this feels ridiculous but I might just start a tumblr and embed it. Every option I've looked into has a limit I'm having difficulty getting around.)

@noelle How easy/painful it would be, I don't know, but LiveJournal's code is open, IIRC, hence Dreamwidth et al.

(Maybe add federation to it? =:)

@noelle I maintain a blog using ghost, which uses a markdown editor. I have it in a subdirectory, I think you just need to configure the path in nginx, and also in Ghost's config file so that it can generate links correctly.
