BlogIt

Setup

Blogit comes installed by default with basilar only the configuration is changed. Some notes on the install process on Basilar branch:

• Page Site.BlogIt-NewEntry had to be created in cookbook/blogit/wikilib.d/Site.BlogIt-NewEntry
• Was not tested if this page could be created in another page group and some CMS settings had to be changed to allow users with edit password to create a post;
