Blog Easy as ABC

Here is how you add blogging to your eMinima server.

Download this file and rename it to blog.tar.gz. Extract it to your home folder (which should be in /root/www/htdocs).

Optional (You can skip this.): For added themes (styles of the blog), download this file and rename it to themes.tar.gz. Extract it to the fp-interface folder inside your blog. (The download might take time as the file is bigger than 1 MB.)

Restart the eMinima server, making sure that you are saving the changes (a previous save file to USB or hard disk will ensure that).

After eMinima has restarted, start Apache/PHP and browse to your new blog (example: http://192.168.1.100/home/blog ). The following dialogues will show. In Step 2, input your own choice of username, password and email.

That’s it, the blog is ready!

Login so that you can access the “Admin Panel”. Go to “Themes” and click on your preferred look and style (some themes have only one style).

“Leggero” is the default (built-in) theme. You can choose from two styles shown below.

You have a new look for your blog! (For more looks (themes), install the additional themes - see “Optional” above.)

Keep using the Admin Panel and create entries and static pages in your blog. Click “Publish” and you’re done!
