The variables are pretty obvious and the sample file comes with some useful examples. mkdir -p txt/en-us/post cat txt/en-us/post/hello_world.rst.. title: Hello World!.. tags: hello_world,my_cool_tagHello, blohg!EOF blohg runMake sure that you run the blohg script from the root of your local repository.If you're lucky, you should get your blog at http://localhost:5000/ hg commit -AWarningMake sure you add the config/*.pyc files to your .hgignore fileNow copy your repository for the remote server as you want.When your repository is available on the web server, configure your push path: cat .hg/hgrcdefault = http://your_user@example.com/my_blohg/EOF hg pushWarningThis example DOESN'T cover the Mercurial server configuration!Deploying your blog (using Apache/mod_wsgi) cp ``sys.prefix``/share/blohg/blohg.wsgi /some/place/ $EDITOR /some/place/blohg.wsgiRead the file and change what you need.Edit your apache configuration and add something like this:< VirtualHost *:80 > ServerName example.com WSGIScriptAlias / /some/place/blohg.wsgi< /VirtualHost >You'll need to add 2 hooks to your remote repository, to update your working directory and reload your Apache processes every time you commit some new page/post:changegroup = hg update >&2changegroup.apache = touch /some/place/blohg.wsgiAdd this to the .hg/hgrc file from your remote repository.Important notes about writing posts/pagesMake sure that you always have a .. title: comment at the begin of your .rst file, this is your title!Static pages will not handle tags, then you don't need the .. tags: comment.
