Purpose
Goal
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.

Status
Teresa has done a prototype for a recent demo; this is working but not yet what I [BK] want. A wire frame has been attached to this page that describes what it should look like. The wire frame is done exclusively using existing paragraphs or stuff from the STK html prototype. No specific new design would be necessary, however, we should make the templates reside on a top level (multi-site support !) as a blog generally looks better without being embedded in a corporate site (we don't want all the menu entries etc).
