This is a quick guide for Blogger users trying to convert Blogger
templates to Blog templates.
The important parts of a template are the tags which stand in for where
your content will later be inserted. Let's take a look at just that
part of a normal Blogger template, and compare with a Blog template.

Comparison Table
=======================================================================
<$BlogDateHeaderDate$> <$BlogDate>
<$BlogItemNumber$> <$BlogID> *
<$BlogItemBody$> <$BlogEntry>
<$BlogItemAuthor$> <$BlogAuthor>
<$BlogItemDateTime$> <$BlogTime>
<$BlogItemArchiveFileName$>#<$BlogItemNumber$> <$BlogLink> *
=======================================================================
Note about permanent links
=======================================================================
Blog automatically inserts a permanent link at the beginning of each
post. <$BlogLink> inserts the full path of a permanent link to a post,
including both that post's number and the file name of the archive.
<$BlogID> returns the number of a post for use with advanced functions,
like comments on your weblog.

Blogger is probably a trademark, and probably belongs to Pyra.
