History

Geeklog has historically focused on "performance, privacy, and security." [8] In March 2010, the Geeklog project slogan was changed to "The secure CMS." in an effort to more accurately reflect the differentiating features compared to other content management systems. [9] Other Geeklog features include "comments, polls, calendar, web links, content syndication, and more." [4] Geeklog supports the Trackback and Pingback standards as well as content syndication by way of the automatic publication of RSS Feeds. [10] Geeklog (in a manner similar to Movable Type and pMachine) allows one to "set fine-grained permission levels for each individual user." [11] Geeklog is also "easily extensible via a modules API." [12]

Many web hosting companies "automatically install open source blogging applications like Geeklog" "as part of their basic Web site packages." [13] As such, it is "one of the more popular choices for a Web-based Content Management System along with WordPress and Drupal." [14] Geeklog is available to many webmasters since it is included with the commercial web hosting software installers Fantastico, [15] Softaculous, [16] and Installatron [17] that are bundled with many web hosting plans, although installations of Geeklog via these third-party installers may have support issues. [18] [19]

Geeklog is used by Groklaw, which has been in continuous operation since 2003. [20] [21]
