Welcome! Glad to have another Deb user :) I did the deb pkg and didn't
have THAT much of a hard time; just had to add the port in the
ServerName in Apache2 - long story, check the friendly thread if you
ever run into that issue from 12-2004 :)

Hi, Robert!

I already replied on #midgard, but here is the same info as it could be
useful to others as well.

Cool!

If you're running "testing" or "unstable" this should be quite simple by
using apt-get:
http://www.midgard-project.org/documentation/installation/distros/debian
.html

(Note: the same DEBs reputedly also work with Ubuntu, although you need
to install the dialog package first)

Ok. And you'll see the "Welcome to Midgard" page in:
http://www.privaterra.org:8001/midgard/

The "Getting started" instructions can be found from there:

  "To get started with Midgard, you need to do the following:

     * Log in to an administrative interface
     * Create a new organization
     * Create a new website for the organization
     * Create the style for the organization's website
     * Log in to the website and start creating content"

You could start with these tutorial slides:

Let me know if you have any questions after reading them ;-)

You can basically blog it using whatever software you like. As you
already have Midgard running that could be a good alternative.

To create a blog there, log into a Midgard site and click "Create page",
the create a subtopic handled by the "News listing
(de.linkm.newsticker)" component. Newsticker has the needed blogging
features like an RSS feed (in /topicname/rss.xml) and MetaWeblog API
support.

Once you have the blog running please let me know and I'll add you to
Planet Midgard:
