Setting up Mango on WebFaction

This is a guide for setting up Mango (v0.5) on WebFaction. It may also be a useful for setting up Mango on other web hosters but will probably not be complete and I'll try to keep this current with Mango and WebFaction updates

Blogging with Mangoes

So this is my blog, its powered by Mango and hosted by WebFaction. Mango is a Django application that lets you make a blog where the entires are simply Markdown formatted files, so you get all of the functionality of HTML is present, but with none of the ugly syntax (You can see this post — or any Mango post — in its Markdown glory by simply adding '/m/' to the URL). Mango automatically handles the archives, tages, feeds etc. leaving you to just write you nice, easily readable plain text posts.
