Step 2: Create Items

Go to the Module page within the Site and either edit an existing item or create a new one:

Step 4: Customising the Layouts or Functionality:

Your Blog will work out of the box but Siteglide is all about flexibility and recognising each project is different. You have total control to customise the Layouts and how the Blog works. We recommend looking at the SiteBuilder Blog Layouts as a starting point as there might be existing Layouts that can save you a lot of time.
