## What can Chyrp Lite do for me?
|
||
|
||
Chyrp Lite makes it possible to host a blog on your own web server with minimal fuss. You can have
|
||
a traditional blog, a tumbleblog, or you can add oodles of customisation and build a general-purpose
|
||
web publishing platform with blogging features on the side. You get five beautiful blog themes and
|
||
a friendly administration console, all fully navigable on a broad range of devices, thanks to the
|
||
power of responsive HTML5. Semantic markup and comprehensive ARIA labelling ensure your blog will be
|
||
accessible to visitors who use assistive technologies.
|
||
|
||
With a flexible system of Feathers and Pages, you can make your website whatever you want it to be.
|
||
Feathers enable different types of blog content – you can restrict yourself to absolute textual purity,
|
||
or you can create a multimedia rainbow. Pages let you publish articles separate from your blog content
|
||
– be it a simple colophon or a hierarchy of multiple pages, optionally including a homepage that your
|
||
visitors will see when they first arrive at your website.
