Hello,

No, you can use standard repeater web part to display blog posts, but you need to get rights fields, which needs to be rendered through a transformation. An example of a working blog post transformation:

<div class="blogPostDetail">
<h1 class="black"><%# Eval("BlogPostTitle", true) %></h1>
<div class="bold"><%# Eval("BlogPostSummary") %></div>
<span class="black bold"><%# BlogFunctions.GetUserFullName(Eval("DocumentCreatedByUserID")) %> </span>
<span class="black">| <%# Eval("BlogPostDate") %></span>
| <a class="gray" href="<%# GetDocumentUrl() %>"><%# BlogFunctions.GetBlogCommentsCount(Eval("DocumentID"),Eval("NodeAliasPath")) %> comments</a>
</div>

But if you are new to Kentico, I suggest you to install a sample Corporate Site (Site Manager -> Sites -> New site wizard), where all common functionality is used in examples and please also follow the link below to our documentation:
