Yes, it's another Django blog. Not a blogging framework, though -- just a blog. No bells or whistles. Designed to just get up and running with a basic blog as quickly as possible. No comments, no categories, no tagging. Themes are all template-based.
pip install south
.git checkout git://github.com/resolversystems/jab.git
cd jab
cp local_settings_template.py local_settings.py
local_settings.py
, and change the variables in there to point to an
appropriate database etc. The Twitter and email fields are optional, just
miss them out if you don't want to use them.python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py migrate
...and you're done! Log in to the admin GUI using the admin username you
created during the syncdb, and add Post
objects to post; set the status to
"Published" when you want a post to go live. Posts contents
are written
in Markdown. It's worth
noting that you can just put any HTML in there too -- it'll get passed straight
through. So, for example, YouTube embed code will work just fine unchanged.
If you want to add something to the header (like, say, an "About" page) then set the "Link from header" checkbox to true -- and you might want to also set the "Show in list and rss" checkbox to false.
If you want something to appear in a sidebar (the default template puts it on
the right) then just add a SidebarItem
object; its contents
field is also
written in Markdown.
A neat hack -- if you use Google Analytics and want to put the code in your
blog, you can just create a new SidebarItem
with the embed code in it -- it
will work!
