Thingamablog Main Interface

Thingamablog is a Free and Open Source Software being developed in Java on Source Forge.Net, which can be used to set up your own blogs. As a software, Thingamablog allows you to set up your own blogs. It even has support for multiple blogs. Instead of being an interface for remotely publishing posts on your blog (like Windows Live Writer), It is a software that will physically manage your blog by managing all scripts and codes. It is like a wordpress-alternative that you can host on your domain, while you configure everything offline and sync it with the remote server.
