node-blog is a basic blog written in Node.js with nice inline composing and markdown storage. All writing is done within your web browser using the ace editor, published articles as well as drafts are stored as markdown files on your server.

You can easily manage your personal site with node-blog, see semu.mp for a working example using node-blog. There is a nice tag cloud available, an RSS news feed for sure and comments with the help from disqus.

Please edit config.json for setting up your own node-blog. Please pay attention to the strict JSON syntax, you can validate your configuration with JSONLint if you run into any problems!

{
  "host": "example.com",
  "port": 8080,
  "admin": {"username": "admin", "password": "loremipsumdolorsitamet"},
  "author": "Lorem Ipsum",
  "disqus": "loremipsum",
  "paths": {
    "articles": "markdown"}
}

After configuration is done just start node-blog with node app.js and point your web browser to the defined host and port. All needed information for customizing node-blog and about composing articles can be found in the folder markfiles/ or at your new node-blog…
