Changed: [app/View.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/blog/app/View.php): generated URLs now honor a base path like /blog. [app/Config.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/blog/app/Config.php): added base_path support and derives it from base_url or SCRIPT_NAME. [app/App.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/blog/app/App.php): route parsing strips the base path, and PHP can safely serve theme/upload assets for virtual subdirectory previews. [.htaccess](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/blog/.htaccess): removed hardcoded RewriteBase /. [themes/neon/layout.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/blog/themes/neon/layout.php): root-relative social links like /feed.xml now become /blog/feed.xml. [README.md](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/blog/README.md): documented subdirectory setup.
Neon Notes CMS
Neon Notes is a small PHP blog CMS with a Bludit-style content layout:
bl-content/pages/<slug>/index.txt
Posts and static pages are Markdown .txt files with front matter. Comments are stored in SQLite, site configuration and generated indexes are JSON, and visit stats are CSV for easy Excel import.
Requirements
- PHP 8.1 or newer
- PDO SQLite enabled
- Apache with
mod_rewritefor.htaccesspretty URLs, or the PHP built-in server for local testing

Apache
The included .htaccess enables pretty URLs and blocks direct access to app code, configuration, SQLite, CSV, JSON databases, and Markdown content files.
For a subdirectory install such as https://example.com/blog, either place the app in that folder and let the CMS auto-detect the path, or set:
{
"base_url": "https://example.com/blog",
"base_path": "/blog"
}
base_path controls generated links, assets, forms, RSS, and sitemap paths.
