Philosophy

We don't need no stinking comments, categories, multiple authors and admin interfaces.
All we need is ease and speed!

"Ick" is also a slang English term for something distasteful. (Wikipedia)

Server setup

You need a server with FastCGI support.

Required things:

• Python 2.5
• web.py
• MySQLdb
• Markdown
• fcgi.py

Installation

1. Install everything from "Required things" to your web server.
2. Create MySQL database and execute the SQL code from config.py.
3. Modify config.py.
4. Put some logo.png to static/, and modify static/style.css and templates/ to your taste (optional).
5. Add #!/usr/bin/python as the very first line in index.fcgi (use your Python 2.5 path)
6. Upload all files to your web server (don't forget .htaccess!).
7. chmod +x index.fcgi

Done.
