Slash is the open source software that drives the hugely popular Slashdot web site and many others. Such a site has come to be called a "weblog": a moderated list, in reverse chronological order, of timely items, with links to further discussion onsite or further information offsite-in other words, a cooperatively authored daily newspaper for some defined community on the net. Running Weblogs with Slash is written for system administrators who may not have the time or the background to learn all about Slash by reading the source code. The book collects the knowledge currently distributed throughout the Slash source code, Slashcode web site, and mailing lists, and organizes it into a coherent package. As a bonus, the book shares how various Slash administrators have customized their sites.
