Re: [pyblosxom-users] ignore_directories behaves differently in static rendering?

[seanh <sea...@gm...>]

Is there a better workflow when you want to preview a post before
publishing it, or is pushing it to your web server and using this
drafts thing in CGI mode the best approach?

The only other way I can think to do it is to run a local apache
server with pyblosxom installed for previewing and push the content to
your remote server when it's done.
