[Radiant] Simple blog too complex: what does this code do?

[Martin Olsson]

Thanks! I know how to write regular expressions. I was wondering if  
there was a way to make this more automatic. The DRY-principles  
should apply to layouts as well, no? Can anyone think of a way to  
reduce the number of places I need to change when I add a new project  
blog. Right now I do this:

Create a new child of the root, say "food".
Copy the content from a previous blog, say "cars".
Change some stuff in the page content.
Create an RSS-feed.
Change the Normal layout.

I'd like to find a smarter and less redundant way to do this.
