Potential Uses

1. Roll your own blog.

   Create an initial page: http://howto.infogami.com/anewblog

   Now when you visit http://howto.infogami.com/_edit/anewblog/_add you will get the same blog post editing form as for the builtin /blog, but all new entries will go under the anewblog/ directory.

   Create the new post, remembering the URL. Into the main anewblog page, plug in {{anewblog/first post}} (or whatever URL you gave it) to include the post in the text of the anewblog "homepage".

   If you want headings, dates or any of the other trappings of blog, you'll need to add those yourself. Why not head over and try it for yourself?
