Yuggoth

"Yuggoth... is a strange dark orb at the very rim of our solar system... There are mighty cities on Yuggoth—great tiers of terraced towers built of black stone... The sun shines there no brighter than a star, but the beings need no light. They have other subtler senses, and put no windows in their great houses and temples..."

— H. P. Lovecraft, "The Whisperer in Darkness"

Usage

The blog requires an instance of postgreSQL. On the first run the blog will guide you through setting up the db connection properties and create the necessary tables for you. Then you will be presented with the setup wizard wich will allow you to configure the administrator and the blog title. Further configuration can be done on the profile page.
