Allow for no configuration

Would be great if we could avoid the configuration step somehow. Perhaps we can have the plugin use the configuration from the example blog if none was specified. Of course, a warning should probably be outputted. It would lower the barrier to quick lets test this out.

I agree with this. Actually, I was already wondering if I should put the example blog configuration as default configuration. I was worried that it won't be so clean, but having a warning can be a good compromise. I will see what I can do about it.

After checking a bit more about it, I still have an issue: the generated content needs layout files to work and not make docpad fail. If we allow for no configuration, which layout the content will use? Maybe we should "create" a layout automatically from the plugin, if we can... Any idea?

Creating a layout or just using the page/post layouts with most docpad skeletons.

Happy to have this cross posted on docpad/gui if you'd like to have other GUI developers weigh on on how we can accomplish this. If so, please do the cross-post :)
