The $ sign represents the shell prompt, do not type it!:$ mkdir my_blogCopy from the Weblog installation directory the file weblog.ini into my_blog:$ cp weblog/examples/weblog.ini my_blogweblog.ini is the configuration file of the blog. Check the configuration file section for more information. Do not worry about it now, no modification is required to get the following examples working.Create a file named first_post.html in the my_blog directory:title: First postauthor: Medate: 2007-08-25Hello world!Actually all the post filenames must end with .html.Go in the my_blog directory and run the weblog_publish.py script:$ cd my_blog/$ python weblog/weblog_publish.pyOr if weblog_publish.py is in your PATH:$ weblog_publish.pyIt should create a directory named output which contains the generated files. You can look at the results by opening the file output/index.html in your browser.The first 3 lines of the file first_post.html define the post's parameters. These are standard RFC 2822 headers (the headers used in Emails). Only title and date are mandatory. author is optional. If you don't fill this field, the author will be the one specified in weblog.ini.The line Hello world! is the actual content of the post. Note that a blank line is required between the headers and the content.The content is an HTML block. Use the HTML syntax to format your post content. For example create a second file named second_post.html:title: Second postauthor: Me (again!)date: 2007-08-26< em >Second< /em > < q >test< /q > < strong >post !< p >? 2007 Me< /p >Regenerate the blog files:$ python weblog/weblog_publish.pyOr:$ weblog_publish.pyReload the page in your browser. You should see a second post with some formating.The default post file encoding is ASCII. If you want to use a different encoding you can specify it via the field encoding:title: Encoding testdate: 2007-11-5encoding: latin-1Here you can put some ISO-8856-1 text ...If you always use the same encoding. You can specify the default encoding in weblog.ini.

Spaces have been replaced with underscores. · You can also choose the encoding for filenames, resulting in nicer URLs for languages which use non-ASCII characters. · Graphical customization is now done by directly modifying the templates. · Weblog has a nicer default look. · "html_head", "html_header", and "html_footer" are no longer supported. · Bugfixes and documentation enhancements were also made.
