Blask is a blogging engine based on [Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/). Blask uses Markdown syntax to create and render

the contents of blog posts.

Blask uses the Jinja2 template engine to render the web templates.

To install Blask, use ```pip```:

```pip install blask```

or download the source code:

```git clone https://github.com/zerasul/blask/```

After downloading you need to create a ```settings.py``` file:

```python

templateDir = "templates"

postDir = "posts"

defaultLayout = "template.html"

staticDir = "static"

title = "Blask | A Simple Blog Engine Based on Flask"

errors= { 404: "404"}

```

You can also use an environment variable to set the settings:

```bash

   export BLASK_SETTINGS=settings

```

To Run Blask, use the following Code:

```python

    from blask import BlaskApp

    import settings

    if __name__ == '__main__':

        b = BlaskApp(templateDir=settings.templateDir, postDir=settings.postDir

                  , defaultLayout=settings.defaultLayout,

              staticDir=settings.staticDir, title=settings.title, errors={404:'404'})

        b.run()

```

You can use the Blask Command Line Tool to run the site:

```bash

   blaskcli run --port 4444 #sets the port to 4444

```
