A Quick Tutorial

Ok, if you’re impatient, this is the short short [1] version of getting setup with blogofile.

• Install Blogofile, (see Installing Blogofile):

sudo easy_install blogofile

• In a clean directory, initialize the bare bones sample site:

blogofile init simple_blog

• Or, for a more complete sample blog (requires git):

blogofile init blogofile.com

• Create some post files in the _posts directory. (see Posts)
• Build the site:

blogofile build

• Serve the site:

blogofile serve 8080

• Open your web browser to http://localhost:8080 to see the rendered site.

The next chapters explain this process in more detail.
