Adding blog functionality after the fact

Permalink
I'm building a big site using Concrete 5. Upon installation, I chose the "empty site" installation mode because that made the most sense at the time.

However, now, I find myself wishing for some of the functionality from the blog install. I'm building new page types that list content by date, and would like to see how the page types in the blog install do it.

Is there any way to get hold of those page types separately, or to look in their source code?

You should be having all you need :

- The blog entry list is actually a "Page List" block configured to display pages of type "Blog Entry".

So just add that bloc where you want your blog to be, and configure it the way you want. You will then have a blog.

Oh, it's that simplistic - that I can replicate myself. (I had thought the template did stuff like showing thumbnail images etc.) thanks!
