Blog

Permalink
I'm a newbie, so please forgive my ignorance.

1. I would like to include two blogs on my website. One for Q&A and the other to contain the content from weekly emails I will be sending to those who signup. I would have a page list on the home page for each blog. How would one set up two separate blogs or is there a better way to accomplish this?

2. I am using the Fundamental theme which included a blog. I was able to add a blog entry but am having trouble editing both the supplied blog entries and the one I added. Changes are not showing up in the PageList block. I have figured out my other problems with saving changes, but can't get this sorted out.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I haven't done exactly this, but I think you may benefit from having two different page types (one for each blog's entries). This would let you use the Page List block to show blog entries from a single blog.

Thanks, Gondwanda! So, I would just add another page type and name it something like blog2 and then add blogentry2? Then, for the second blog select those page types?

Any ideas why changes to my blog entries are not showing up on the page list? Do I need to somehow refresh the page list.

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to learn as much about this as I can.

Re blog2 and blogentry2, that's what I'd try. There may be more elegant solutions, but I don't know them.

Getting blog entries to appear on a page list can be tricky. The best I can suggest is to edit the Page List block and ensure you've got the appropriate settings.

Hi,

Can you be more specific about what changes are not showing in page list?
image, page title, text?

Hi Colin

The page title and description are not changing in the page list. The image and text do change.

Thanks for your response, KD
