The Xlog project, a blockchain blog platform, has been completed. It allows users to create and publish articles on blockchain technology without prior computer knowledge. Users need to register an account on xLog, install the MetaMask wallet plugin, and generate a token for xLog. They can also set up the sync-to-xlog and Emo plugins in Obsidian for seamless integration with the platform. Additionally, users can use Github as a free image hosting service for their blog posts.

1. Origin#

  • Daobao is very interested in humanities and history knowledge
  • Want to encourage Daobao to try humanities and history creation
  • After considering multiple factors, decided to use the xLog blockchain blog platform

2. Planning#

  • Use Obsidian as the blog editor
  • Use Github as a free image hosting service
  • Use the sync-to-xlog community plugin for Obsidian as the blog publishing tool
  • Use the Emo community plugin for Obsidian as the image hosting tool

3. Implementation#

(1) Register an xLog account#

  • Register and verify using an email address
  • Notes
    • Publishing or commenting on blog posts on the blockchain requires payment
    • So you also need an electronic wallet like MetaMask
    • You cannot customize your avatar when you first register
    • Because it requires 0.057 CSB
    • Usually, the initial relief fund is only 0.02 CSB

(2) Install the MetaMask electronic wallet plugin for the browser#

  • For Edge browser, you can directly search and install MetaMask from the Edge Add-ons Store
  • For Tor browser, you can search and install it from the built-in plugin store
  • For other browsers, you can download the corresponding plugin package from the metamask-extension project on Github and install it
    • Example of installing the plugin for Google Chrome
    • Download metamask-chrome-11.16.15.zip and extract it to a folder with the same name
    • Open the extension management of Google Chrome and load the previously extracted plugin extension program folder to install it
  • Note that the following operations are recommended to be completed in the Tor browser
    • You need to research how to use the Tor browser by yourself
    • Choose Crossbell or other network methods to try logging into MetaMask
    • Create a password for the MetaMask wallet that is at least 8 characters long
    • At the same time, 12 mnemonic words will be created to protect the wallet, so be sure to save them
    • Record the generated account information, such as 0x...
    • You can also save the private key, such as 18d...
    • Apply for a relief fund of 0.02 CSB through the faucet for backup

(3) Generate a token for xLog#

  • Open your xLog page and click on the connection
  • Click on the MetaMask option to enter the backend
  • Click on the settings at the bottom left
  • Click on xSettings on the right
  • Make sure to check Operator Sign and Sync Operator and make a payment
  • Open the developer mode by pressing F12 after ensuring that the xSettings option is open in advance
  • Click on the console
  • Enter the code JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("connect-kit:account")).state.wallet.siwe.token; after the prompt and press Enter to confirm
  • If there is a warning message, you can enter the corresponding characters to remove the warning as prompted and then re-enter the above code
  • The long code returned below is the token

(4) Configure the sync-to-xlog plugin#

  • Search for the sync-to-xlog plugin from the community plugins in Obsidian settings or download and install the plugin from sync-to-xlog
    • Paste the long token from above into the XLOG SIWE Token in the sync-to-xlog plugin settings
    • The CharactorID will be automatically generated as a string of numbers

    • Choose Github as the target hosting
    • Enter the Github username in the owner field, note that it is not the email address
    • Enter the folder name "image" in the repo field
    • Enter "main" in the branch field, which should be determined based on the branch name generated by Github, it could also be "master"
