KidzBlog is simple to use. Create a weblog, give it a name, customize its look, and you are ready to start adding posts. Each post is a combination of text and a picture. KidzBlog has simple painting tools that makes creating pictures a snap. When you are ready to publish your weblog, just click the Publish button in the Posts window and your weblog will be on the Internet for everybody to see.

KidzBlog is a complete weblog publishing system. Weblogs published with KidzBlog use CSS to control the layout of elements on every web page. Archive pages are maintained automatiically for you as you add new posts to your weblog. The main index page has a configurable number of posts and the rest of your posts are all contained on the archive pages. Syndication (the ability to subscribe to your weblog with an RSS reader) is made possible with an index.rss file, which is a validating RSS 2.0 file that is written with the rest of your web pages each time you publish your weblog.

There is a weblog about KidzBlog called KidzBlog Weblog that is maintained with KidzBlog itself. KidzBlog Weblog has information about the currently shipping KidzBlog as well as discussions about future versions. Newly released versions of KidzBlog will be announced on KidzBlog Weblog as well.
