Blask is a blogging engine based on [Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/). Blask uses Markdown syntax to create and render
the contents of blog posts.

Blask uses the Jinja2 template engine to render the web templates.


To install Blask, use ```pip```:

```pip install blask```

or download the source code:

```git clone https://github.com/zerasul/blask/```

Later, you need to create a ```settings.py``` file:

```python
templateDir = "templates"
postDir = "posts"
defaultLayout = "template.html"
staticDir = "static"
title = "Blask | A Simple Blog Engine Based on Flask"
```

For last, to Run Blask, use the next Code:

```python
from Blask import BlaskApp
import settings

if __name__ == '__main__':
b = BlaskApp(templateDir=settings.templateDir, postDir=settings.postDir
, defaultLayout=settings.defaultLayout,
staticDir=settings.staticDir, title=settings.title)
b.run()
```

Also, you can use a environment variable to set the settings:

```bash
export BLASK_SETTINGS=settings
```

You can use the Blask Command Line Tool to run the site:

```bash
blaskcli run --port 4444 #sets the port to 4444
```
