See this similar project for how @pushrax does it:

https://github.com/pushrax/node-blog-base

Should we do the same? I'm not sure, but I may experiment on a branch and see how it looks in https://github.com/chilts/connect-blog :)

I think we should add such methods, but in the same time let the user access the posts directly.

Something simple like:

blog = {
  posts: raw_data_here,
  methods: {
  .. all methods here ...
  }
}

Later on someone may want to add extra stuff like http://lunrjs.com/ and this way it's really straight-forward.

You could create a Blog prototype/class and have a public posts property.
