This is a simple and easy to use plain-text-like blogging engine, that was
created to power http://nerdgordo.com/.
Installation
------------
As easy as pie::
$ pip install ngblog
``ngblog`` relies on ``figlet`` to generate the blog title. Install it with
your distro's package manager.
This thing just works on Linux, probably.
Start the blog
--------------
Create the directory and the configuration file::
$ mkdir blog
$ vim blog/config.ini
Add something like this to the file::
[settings]
title = Blog Title
headline = Blog Headline
footline = Blog Footline -- Multi-line
capable
author_name = My Name
author_email = example@example.com
Create a sample post::
$ mkdir -p blog/2011/10/30
$ vim blog/2011/10/30/my-post.txt
Add anything you want to the post::
This is my title
This is my body.
I'm a simple parser, but I can recognize paragraphs. ;)
The directory structure of the posts is important, because it is used for
get the publishing date.
You might want to store your text files in a Git repository, for history and
stuff.
Build the blog
--------------
``ngblog`` script is your friend::
$ ngblog --srcdir blog
This will put the generated files in ``blog/_build``. Open the file
``blog/_build/index.html`` in any browser to review your blog.
Build the files again, now with your domain as the base URL::
$ ngblog --srcdir blog --baseurl http://example.com/
Feel free to upload these files to your server with some tool like ``rsync``.
Take a look at the ``ngblog`` help to see the available options::
$ ngblog --help
