OnlyBlog.notes

[Blog installation]

* Blog will be installed centrally on a server. Users can use
  'personalization' to make an instance that suits them
* As such, there is a 'OnlyBlog' area, where all the blog
  infrastructure files are installed. Then there are user areas
  where users have their specific configuration files and blog
  data files

[Blog data organization]

* simple text files with a specified extension (default, .blog)
* All files can be in one directory, or in a hierarchy. However,
  the hierarchy has no significance. It is only for easier
  management of files

[Blog file structure]

* Metax data sits in the header of a blog file
* Content follows the metadata section
* Metadata and content are separated by '+-+-+' separator
* Metadata:
  - Tags: tag1,tag2,tag3, tag4
  - Published: MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS
    This field is empty to begin with. If the author wants to
    publish it, this field should contain publishing date. Entry
    will not be displayed in the blog if the field is empty.
* Content:
  - First line of the content is the heading
  - Rest of the file is free formatting. It can include HTML
    syntax. HTML will be displayed as in the file.

[Themeing]

* All classes and ids used in base OnlyBlog library will be
  documented. Themes can use these to format the output
* A user stylesheet file will be allowed to be specified via
  blog configuration to allow non-theme styling. All non-theme
  styles must reside inside '.user_style' class.
