# Blog Module
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The blog module allows you to post blogs on your SilverStripe. It includes the ability to post blogs using a site front-end form. Blogs are summarised on the blog holder page type, with more detail viewable when a specific blog is clicked.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Feature Overview

## Page types
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We have chosen to go with the following page types to include with the blog module:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **BlogTree** This is a holder of BlogHolder. If your site has only one blog holder, you won't need this page type.
|
||
|
|
- **BlogHolder** The BlogHolder shows BlogEntries, and provides a way to search etc.It would also contain methods to post new blogs.
|
||
|
|
- BlogEntry: This is simply an entry/post for the blog.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## View Archived Blogs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Blog archives can be viewed by `year/month` by appending the year, followed by a forward slash, then the numerical month, to the end of the BlogHolder URL. Alternately, just the year can be appended to view entries for that year.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
for example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `mysite/blog/2007/6` would show blog entries for June 2007
|
||
|
|
- `mysite/blog/2007` would show blog entries for 2007

## Working with the theme
|

|
|
|

|
|
The blog comes set up to use the `\themes\blackcandy_blog\` directory by default. See [themes](http://doc.silverstripe.org/themes).
