  No idea but from the one time I've looked into the code base I'd say that if it takes any modification of the source: very dificult unless one of the code maintainers is interested. Honestly, go take a look it was very scary. That's why I switched away from WordPress. A friend and I got attacked by some bots that did some emailing through our sites. After that I switched off and he did some intense web-admin work to make sure "it was never going to happen again" (tm). NibbleBlog was drag and drop. My friend went to hell and back to fix these exploits. WordPress has more features but also more ins-and-outs to learn. The choice is up to you if it's worth it. Also from what I remember NibbleBlog stores JSON files and doesn't use SQLite in flat-file mode. Very handy.

  > How difficult would it be to get WP to run off of sqlite? Hard, but not impossible. WP has a pluggable database connection class that you can override, but it doesn't have a DBAL. You'd have to modify queries to remove MySQL-specific things. It is possible though: https://wordpress.org/plugins/sqlite-integration/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/sqlite-integration/
