+You can turn any page on this wiki into a weblog by inserting a
+[[PreProcessorDirective]]. Like this:
+
+	\[[inline pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion" show="10" rootpage="blog"]]
+
+Any pages that match the specified [[PageSpec]] (in the example, any
+[[SubPage]] of "blog") will be part of the blog, and the newest 10
+of them will appear in the page. Note that if files that are not pages
+match the [[PageSpec]], they will be included in the feed using RSS
+enclosures, which is useful for podcasting.
+
+The optional `rootpage` parameter tells the wiki that new posts to this blog
+should default to being [[SubPage]]s of "blog", and enables a form at the
+top of the blog that can be used to add new items.
+
+If you want your blog to have an archive page listing every post ever made
+to it, you can accomplish that like this:
+
+	\[[inline pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion" archive="yes"]]
+
+You can even create an automatically generated list of all the pages on the
+wiki, with the most recently added at the top, like this:
+
+	\[[inline pages="* and !*/Discussion" archive="yes"]]
+
+If you want to be able to add pages to a given blog feed by tagging them,
+you can do that too. To tag a page, just make it link to a page or pages 
+that represent its tags. Then use the special link() [[PageSpec]] to match
+all pages that have a given tag:
+
+	\[[inline pages="link(life)"]]
+
+Or include some tags and exclude others:
+
+	\[[inline pages="link(debian) and !link(social)"]]
