  1. Make a safety copy of your config.rb, ìnit.html.erbandlayout.erb` files.

  2. cd into the project dir

  3. Run middleman init --template=blog (as when you create a blog from scratch, but without the project name)

  4. Note that config.rb will be overwritten, as will the index.html.erb file. Manually merge your copy of config.rb with the new one.

Note that if your project is using haml instead of erb, you will have to translate index.html.erb, tag.html.erb and calender.html.erb. Same goes for slim etc.

You can just add the gem and follow the instructions in the repo.
