I have absolutely no experience with blogging stuff, but for any
kind of web-programming I would recommend trying out Spiffy the
webserver. It's pretty simple to set up and configure and even though
it doesn't offer all the bells and whistles of an industrial web-server
it lets you easyly code dynamic web-pages in Scheme, either in a
PHP-like manner (embedding Scheme code in HTML) or by generating
SXML, or whatever you like.

AFAIK, Alejandro has some CGI stuff, I don't know of any other
Chicken-specific CGI code.

I would be highly interested in an "official" CGI egg for Chicken, so
if I can be of any help, please let me know.
