Implementation tracked in MGNLBLOG@jira. |
Purpose
...
Implement a simple template / set of templates to collection of page and component templates that enable blogging with STK/Magnolia
Motivation
Blog Magnolia CMS. Blog functionality is often asked for on RFP's. While we don't see Magnolia CMS as a blogging platform per se, the infrastructure we provide out of the box should make it almost trivial to provide blog functionality , that to some extend might even supersede exceed some of the existing options.It It could also be useful for our own bloggers, or used as a system to provide blog space for the community once we have a proper forge.
