Installing SimpleBlog Requirements: * Plone 2.1 or higher (this version will NOT work with previous versions) * Archetypes 1.3.x * ATContentTypes 1.0.3 or higher Install: * Copy the entire SimpleBlog folder to your zope Products folder and restart Zope * Use QuickInstaller to install SimleBlog into your Plone site. During the installation, SimpleBlog creates a workflow that is attached to the BlogEntry portal type. This workflow is very simple and has two states: 'draft' and 'published'. Of course you can create your own workflow but this one is made for your convenience. Of course you can also use the standard plone workflow. Also, a simpleblog_tool is installed in the portal which gives you a few parameters that you can adjust for SimpleBlog. In your Plone site there is a control panel for SimpleBlog. See readme.txt for more info. When the installation is finished, you should check the permissions in ZMI for your portal. There will be four new permissions: SimpleBlog: Add Blog, SimpleBlog: Add BlogEntry, SimpleBlog: Add BlogFolder and SimpleBlog: Cross-post. You most certainly will have to assign roles, otherwise no one will be able to add Blogs other than the Manager. IMPORTANT for users of versions prior to 2.0: You will have to remove and re-install SimpleBlog in order to register the new factory types for plone 2.1. Make sure you backup your data first!! That's about all. Don't forget to read the readme!
