May not want to share /home
My own experience is that sharing /home between distros can lead to muddled configuration settings. I've recently switched to running with all of my data in a /Data partition, with shortcuts from each distros /home to /Data/documents, /Data/music, /Data/pictures, etc. That way all the distros get to share my data without them getting tangled in each others' config settings.

blaze-add
BLAZE-ADD(1) BlazeBlogger Documentation BLAZE-ADD(1)
NAME
blaze-add - adds a blog post or a page to the BlazeBlogger repository
SYNOPSIS
blaze-add [-pqCPV] [-b directory] [-E editor] [-a author] [-d date] [-t title] [-k keywords] [-T tags] [-u url] [file...]
blaze-add -h|-v
DESCRIPTION
blaze-add adds a blog post or a page to the BlazeBlogger repository. If a file is supplied, it adds the content of that file, otherwise an
external text editor is opened for you. Note that there are several special forms and placeholders that can be used in the text, and that
will be replaced with a proper data when the blog is generated.
Special Forms
<!-- break -->
A mark to delimit a blog post synopsis.
Placeholders
%root%
A relative path to the root directory of the blog.
%home%
A relative path to the index page of the blog.
%page[id]%
A relative path to a page with the supplied id.
%post[id]%
A relative path to a blog post with the supplied id.
%tag[name]%
A relative path to a tag with the supplied name.
OPTIONS
-b directory, --blogdir directory
Allows you to specify a directory in which the BlazeBlogger repository is placed. The default option is a current working directory.
-E editor, --editor editor
Allows you to specify an external text editor. When supplied, this option overrides the relevant configuration option.

ENVIRONMENT
EDITOR
Unless the core.editor option is set, BlazeBlogger tries to use system-wide settings to decide which editor to use.

~]$ blaze-add
Add a new blog post from a file:
~]$ blaze-add new_packages.txt
Successfully added the post with ID 10.
