1) Entries

To start blogging you just have to open your favorite editor, write your entry
and save it under entries/. The filename should be like this:
 (entry title).(suffix)
The suffix can be set in your configuration file. Default is '.txt'.

While parsing an entry, blogthon places a <br /> behind each line, except for
lines with <ul>, <li>, <table>, etc... So you don't need to make your own
layout using <br /> tags. Aside from that you can certainly use <p> elements
and all other HTML tags.

Time and date of your entry are taken from the timestamp of your file.
Unfortunately this timestamp changes when you edit your file again. As a
workaround I use a small shellscript instead of starting vim/emacs/...:
http://git.fucktheforce.de/?p=xeno;a=blob_plain;f=viod;hb=HEAD


2) Staticpages

Staticpages are placed under static/ without a suffix. To sort them, you can
start the filename with a literal and -. So '01-Foo' will be placed before
'02-Bar'.

If you want to make a staticpage to be a link to an extern page, you just have
to place the following content in the first line:
extern_link: http://your/link.


3) Comments

Comments are saved under entries/ like all entries, but with the suffix
'.comments'. The syntax in this file is like this:

-.Nickname
+.Date
.some text
.more text


4) Linklist

To add a link to your linklist, just add a line to the linklist file:

http://some/link name of your link

Of course you can use empty lines to split different sorts of links.
