Is there a complete documentation of all configuration variables? In the config yaml example I didn't find the nav_links variable.

It's in the example - but I've added it today, the timing was perfect because I also needed it to migrate my personal website.

A full reference of the configuration parameters is on the README too.

if I want to link to a specific blog's article?

If you link to a blog article from another blog article a Webmention will be automatically sent out, so you can see the comment under the original page.

If you or anyone replies to a post from Mastodon and enable_activitypub is true then the reply will also be rendered automatically under the original page.

If you instead you mean "adding a link to another article in the nav bar", that should be possible always with nav_links:

nav_links:
  - name: Some Important Post
    url: /article/some-important-post
    icon: https://madblog.plusbrothers.net/img/myicon.png

If I want to place the guestbook page into the nav bar, should I link the whole http URL or just /guestbook?

Both should work. But you don't need to explicitly add the guestbook to the nav bar - it's automatically added if either Webmentions or ActivityPub are enabled and enable_guestbook is not set to false.

Then - on WriteFreely, if I publish a post and pin it, it goes to header's links.

Proper support for pinned collections hasn't yet been implemented (it requires implementing ActivityPub collections on Pubby too).

The workaround for now is simply to add links to nav_links.

But every markdown post I upload on madblog, gets into the Rss I think, like normal posts, even if it's not a post but a "static" page

Everything #markdown file you put under markdown on #madblog is also included in the RSS feed - unless you set default_visibility to non-public in the configuration or set e.g. [//]: # (visibility: unlisted) (or followers, direct or draft) in the Markdown headers.

@fabio This platform seems very interesting. It has a bigger learning curve than WordPress but, as far as I understood, I have no longer to worry about themes and stuff - except for the logo if needed, maybe I should set dimension manually (no idea of how sighted folks need it to be!)
