## Extension points in Blog and BlogPost users and how to use
Both Blog and BlogPost have methods which return the list of candidate users or authors. If the previously

DataExtension to get the controll you require.

} else {

# Configuring Widgets
The blog module comes bundled with some useful widgets. To take advantage of them, you'll need to install the [SilverStripe widgets module](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-widgets). Widgets are totally optional - so your blog will work just fine without having widgets installed.
The blog module comes bundled with some useful widgets. To take advantage of them, you'll need to install the
[SilverStripe widgets module](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-widgets). Widgets are totally optional -
so your blog will work just fine without having widgets installed.
You can enable the widgets by adding the following YML config:
```yaml
Blog:
SilverStripe\Blog\Model\Blog:
extensions:
- WidgetPageExtension
BlogPost:
- SilverStripe\Widgets\Extensions\WidgetPageExtension
SilverStripe\Blog\Model\BlogPost:
extensions:
- WidgetPageExtension
- SilverStripe\Widgets\Extensions\WidgetPageExtension
```
Once you have widgets installed you'll see the "Widgets" tab in the content section of your blog.
