A simple blogging platform built on Node.js and Express.js that uses Markdown syntax for posting.
To speed things up, Simple doesn't make use of user sessions. Since there are no sessions, there is no admin user. Simple makes all admin pages (new post, edit, etc) accessible to the public but requires a master password to do anything serious.
Installation
npm install simple-blog
Enviroment Setup
Your app will need access to a MongoDb database to save posts. You can do one of the following:- Have MongoDb installed locally on port 27017
- Set environment variable MONGO_URL to a remote location (ex. MongoHQ)
Sample Server
require('simple-blog').start();
Server With Custom Views And Stuff
Simple Uses Express.js for a backend so setup is very simple.Copy template and public directories
Simple comes with a default template but I'm sure you'll want to make your own. To make sure you have everything you need to get started you can copy the sample files from the module by doing the following:$ cd myApp/
$ cp -r node_modules/simple-blog/public ./
$ cp -r node_modules/simple-blog/views ./
