Blug readme

Blug is a tiny blog engine that uses Django, Markdown, and Smartypants (actually smartypants.py). It was inspired by Tom Preston-Werner's Jekyll, except it is written in Python instead of Ruby and runs as a web application instead of offline. What can I say, I needed something to do.

Blug doesn't do anything fancy like layouts, templates, or related posts; but that's because it was written in an hour. There's just a flat list of posts, and they all get formatted and rendered against the same Django template. There's no web interface for posting, either; just a directory on the filesystem containing the properly-named entries.

Notes

• python-django and python-markdown are in Debian/Ubuntu.
• Install smartypants.py with easy_install smartypants.
• The repository needs to be a directory called mysite, due to settings.py.

Once everything is set up, just run ./manage.py runserver and go to http://localhost:8000/blug/ to see it in action.
