=head1 NAME

Blosxom Plug-in: fix_static_url

=head1 SYNOPSIS

This plugin corrects the $blosxom::url variable for static rendering.

When you use blosxom for rendering static pages, the $url variable refers to your local machine, which is rarely acurate, especially if you intend to upload the static files to a different server... You have to explicitly assign the $url variable in the source of blosxom, or you can use this plugin as an alternative.

You can assign the $static_url variable in the config section, or use the prefs plugin (the alternative to the config plugin for static rendering) to define
$fix_static_url::static_url.
