This is an [[example_blog|index]]. Just copy the blog subdirectory into your wiki to quickly get started blogging with ikiwiki.

Or, run this command to set up a blog with ikiwiki.

% ikiwiki -setup /etc/ikiwiki/auto-blog.setup

Some additional configuration you might want to do:

  • Make sure to configure ikiwiki to generate RSS or Atom feeds.

  • Make sure you have the tag plugin enabled, and tag posts using it. An example of how to tag a post is: [[!tag tags/life]]

  • Enable the [[sidebar|plugins/sidebar]] plugin to get a sidebar listing all the categories you've tagged posts with.

  • Enable the [[pagestats|plugins/pagestats]] plugin to get a tag cloud to display on the [[index]].

  • Enable the [[comments|plugins/comments]] plugin and configure it to enable comments to posts to the blog:

    comments_pagespec => 'blog/posts/* and !*/Discussion',

  • Enable the [[calendar|plugins/calendar]] plugin and run the [[ikiwiki-calendar]] command from cron daily to get an interlinked set of calendar archives.
