Page List Block to make a blog

Permalink
Hello.
I have a client that wants a very basic blog - just publishing articles, no comments, etc. I have read some about the page list block and think it might be suitable for this (can't shell out any more $ for blog addons).

I swear there used to be a tutorial for this somewhere but I can't find it. Any guidance?

Thanks,
Aaron

The latest version of C5 (5.4.1.1) has the ability to create a blog from the default install. Seehttp://beta.mnkras.com/ for an example. C5 installs the page type when you check "install sample content" during install. The content in the first post tells you how to set it up.

There's also a free blog add on in the marketplace called Blogga:

Hope that helps.
