+* [[blog]]s
+
+ You can turn any page in the wiki into a [[blog]]. Pages with names
+ matching a specified [[GlobList]] will be displayed as a weblog within
+ the blog page. And an RSS feed can be generated to follow the blog.
+
+ Ikiwikit's own [[TODO]] and [[news]] pages are good examples of some of the flexible ways that this can be used.
* Fast compiler
- ikiwiki is fast and smart about updating a wiki, it only builds pages that have changed (and tracks things like creation of new pages and links that can indirectly cause a page to need a rebuild)

-* Smart merging and conflict resolution in web browser
+* Smart merging and conflict resolution in your web browser
+
+ Since it uses subversion, ikiwiki takes advantage of its smart merging to
+ avoid any conflicts when two people edit different parts of the same page
+ at the same time. No annoying warnings about other editors, or locking,
+ etc, instead the other person's changes will be automatically merged with
+ yours when you commit.
+
+ In the rare cases where automatic merging fails due to the same part of a
+ page being concurrently edited, regular subversion commit markers are
+ shown in the file to resolve the conflict, so if you're already familiar
+ with that there's no new commit marker syntax to learn.
