goBlog

Just another blog middleware for ExpressJs.

Allows you to mount a blog anywhere in an existing Express app. The posts are just markdown or pug files sitting in a directory somewhere.

    templateDir: 'template',
    templateDetail: 'detail-post',

List of posts

# A page of posts
GET /

If you have spesify /blog/ for goblog, then you can access it to get a list of posts.
