Requirements
- needs to be easy to skin for customer projects;
- use point of view:
- creating a new blog in my wiki

Suggestions
The blog is a typical XWiki application:
- It requires a creation form to create new articles
- It lists existing items with a custom display
- A blog post has its specific page with a custom look
- Blog posts can be edited as forms (inline mode)
Stuff to improve
- Creating a new blog post
o Step 1 -> create the page
o Step 2 -> fill in the fields - Edit / view a blog post
o Look of the blog post page
