Vox Populi (taken from Wikipedia):
Serendipity is a PHP based blog and web-based content management system. It is available under a BSD license. It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite database backends, the Smarty template engine, and a plugin architecture for user contributed modifications. Serendipity is unique among other popular weblog systems as it uses a plugin system that does not need hacking of the system PHP files.
