Structure

The following picture shows you what is in the weblog folder :

The two .php files contain the programming logic. Index.php contains configuration information. You only need to update two fields with the name you have chosen for your weblog :

<tt><small>$blog_description = "Samizdat";</small></tt> 

<tt><small>$blog_title = "Samizdat";</small></tt>

You can leave the rest of the configuration parameters alone. The blog_title is a shorter name for your weblog. It is useful when column space is restricted, e.g., in NetNewsWire, the RSS news feed aggregator.

Once you have edited the index.php file, you only need to save text (.txt) files into the Docs folder to start adding stories into your weblog. The only requirement you have to follow is that the text files must be saved with a .txt extension in the file name. Also, the first line in the file is used as the title. And, you should leave a space between paragraphs.
