  Doug was going to do a unit testing or a regression testing or some kind
  of testing system in PyBlosxom so that we'd have testing and wouldn't
  have to do the manual testing and the "well, gee, it must work because
  I don't think I did anything wrong" <sup>[1]</sup> type testing.  But then he ran
  out of time or interest or something.  That time period of PyBlosxom 
  development was a little rough for all of us.

  Anyhow, I bumped into this blog entry on
  <a href="http://blog.ianbicking.org/functional-testing-in-paste.html">Functional
  testing in Paste</a> which at first blush looks fantastically awesome 
  for testing PyBlosxom stuff.  It's based on 
  <a href="http://pythonpaste.org/docs/testing-applications.html">testing 
  applications with Paste</a> (<a href="http://pythonpaste.org/">Paste</a>).

  I'm tossing this in the blog in case anyone is interested in working on 
  fleshing this possibility out or in case I discover some free time with 
  nothing to do.
