Adding a Blog to C5 [v 5.6.3.1]
Permalink
Greetings,
Recently I installed - via iPage - a fresh C5 for a website I'm slowly building - iPage had to do it, as "Simple Scripts" was having an issue at the time. The "bright-sparks" at iPage didn't opt to download sample data, so no blog came with the fresh install - never encountered this before.
Is it hard to add a blog to C5 after an install? I tracked down the link below - is that accurate still or is there a simpler way? [could my blog actually be hiding somewhere in my install and I have not found it?]

Any "installing a blog for the completely challenged" advice much appreciated.
Thank you!

So adding a blog to a c5 installation is piece of cake :
- Anywhere in your site add a root page that you will use to place your blog entries under (lets call it "blog")
- Add a subpage to that "blog" page of type BlogEntry and fill it
- Add a PageList in the "blog" page, and list pages of type "BlogEntry"
Tada, you're done :)
