Is The Blog On This Site a Concrete5 Module?

Permalink
... If so how can I create the same kind of blog on my Conrete5 site?

Or is it a Wordpress blog running separate from C5? Or something similar?

our concretethestudio.com blog is a wordpress blog because a hammer is great for driving nails.

i know some people are working on a blog UI for c5, i dont believe its going to be free but i think it might have a similar feel to wordpress.

if you search around forums there's a lot of diatribes on why we didn't start with a blog UI to make a cms.. simple answer:
wordpress = hammer
concrete5 = screwdriver

Thanks for the clarification.

Forgive me if this one is naive as well...but is this forum a native script or has it been hacked to work with Concrete5?

Either way, how do I duplicate it on my site?

Thanks

The forum is a big one for me, good to hear that it will be coming out soon.

Blog would be nice as well, hopefully someone puts one out.

Thanks

In case someone is looking for this in the future:
There are two full-featured blog add-ons in the marketplace, or if you only need a lightweight blog (like one section of your otherwise-non-bloggy site -- no tagging or archives), and are willing to do some coding, I've written a tutorial on how to implement this:
