Blog app

The Blog app enables you to add a simple blog or news section to your site.

Posts have a title, excerpt, body and date, and can be tagged and added to categories of your choosing. Content can then be displayed archived by month and year. An RSS feed of posts can be made available, and content can be filtered by category or tag.

Installation & Documentation

Installation instructions and documentation can be found on our support and documentation site.

Upgrading from a previous version

Version 2.0 of this app was not fully backwards compatible with previous versions. If upgrading, from earlier than v2.0, the excerpt data for each post will need to be re-entered.

The update from 2.7 to 2.8 adds the ability for template attributes on static fields to be used to specify an editor and such. Because of this change, if using templates from a prior version, you’ll need to edit your `post.html` template to add an editor. e.g.

<perch:blog id="postDescHTML" encode="false" 
    editor="markitup" textile="true" />
