Aleksey Martynov has submitted a new tutorial showing you how to (create a) "blog in 15 minutes" with the help of the lexa-tools framework, a set of utilities that gives you a procedural API to some handy tools.

The tutorial walks you through all the steps you'll need:

• setting up the environment
• creating a site skeleton
• making the blog posts model (with the CRUD generator)
• make the main page to display the latest posts
• adding comments
• creating a page for each posts's detail
• and the comments view

If you'd like to just skip to the end, you can download the source here.
