Purpose

The purpose of this package is not to provide a blog that is the end all be all. It is intended to be simply configurable, and extensible while providing the barebones boilerplate needed.

Setup

The admin needs to be added to 'blog_admin' in Roles.GLOBAL_GROUP.

Additional Packages

Composition is a powerful thing.

SEO

meteor add elevatedevdesign:simple-blog-seo

DISQUS

meteor add elevatedevdesign:simple-blog-disqus

Then in your code

Blog.disqusShortname = 'YOUR_SHORTNAME';

Styling

.blog{
  article{
    .make-row();
    position: relative;
    padding: 25px;
  }

  h2,
  time, 
  .blog-post-author,

    .btn-primary;
  }
