-The above will display the five latest entries in our blog. Since this is a single-user setup there's no need to specify a namespace in the plugin syntax, instead the default setting will be used. You should see a form now to add new blog entries. But before you add your first entry there's one configuration option left which needs to be set, namely the ''dateprefix'' setting. It can be used to add the date the page was created to the page name of the new page. A good setting here is ''%Y:%m%d_''. What happens here is that when you enter "my new blog" into the new entry form and press enter, the following page will created ''%%blog:2008:0512_my_new_blog%%''. You see this comes in quite handy to keep your blog namespace organized.

 In order to only allow read access to your blog to prevent people from editing your entries it also makes sense to add some ACL rules (the example assumes that you use the '':start'' page for the blog listing).
