Ah, like some frameworks like CakePHP have as a basic tutorial? Look on GitHub under examples/hellolift -- it seems to be a blog demo. (In case you're not familiar with the maven layout, the source folder is src/main/scala.) It may be helpful to copy the code from there manually, and try to understand each line one at a time. Although it's not the simplest possible blog; apparently it tries to show off a range of lift's features.

I study Lift in my free time, so basically there's no strict time frame. For a start, I would like to just study enough Scala to be able to use Lift, and just enough Lift to be able to create a simple blog as an exercise. The blog only has 2 resources: user and article. Because I have Java experience and I am working with Erlang full-time now, I am familiar with most ideas of Scala. I just feel that its syntax is too complicated, so for a start I only want to study enough Scala to be able to use Lift. Lift is my final target, Scala is a by- product :D. Thank you all.
