For pyblosxom 0.6 (the next release will have a different way to do 
things, check the cvs for more info):

def load(py, entryList):
    py["HelloWorld"] = "Hello, World"

Assuming you call by - http://host.address/pyblosxom?name=Wari%20Wahab
-----------------------
def load(py, entryList):
    form = cgi.FieldStorage()
    name = (form.has_key('name') and [form['name'].value] or ["World!"])[0]
    py["HelloWorld"] = "Hello, %s" % name
-----------------------
If name is defined, Hello, Wari Wahab, else Hello, World!

Pretty much untested, but you get the idea :)

The plugin system in the CVS, plugins must register with the api. Hope 
this one works for you :)
