How to display the content of a blog post

There should be two different transformations...the first one will be the main view, so this would be a preview of the post, aka your title and a small snippet or something. Then you would have your selected item transformation to be when you click on the post. This is where you would show all of the content of the blog and allow the reader to read the whole thing or leave comments, etc. Does that make sense? Try looking at the transformations and select the blog post preview transformation for the first one and then for the selected item transformation select the blog post default transformation.

Josh,

Are you saying I should create some transformations? The only blog post transformations I have are for archive, atomitem, default, recentposts and rssitem. Default seems like it should work. But I don't know how to insert a transformation into a templte.

There should be an option to create a new one...do that for the main one, and then use the default for the selected. The only you create, try to generate a default one and then take out everything besides the blogpost title or whatever you want to show up.

I'm running in circles here. I have a home page that has a web part that has a Recent Post web part. And it shows recent blog posts of the blog that's a "subpage" of that page. Then the calendar archive view of the posts and the posts themselves also are using that template because they are a child of the home page.. And as soon as I go into the blog itself or the blog posts, there's two green sections. I think those are for templates. http://grab.by/zu9g why?

Now if I go into document types and select Blog post and look at its transformations. There's a default one that displays what I want for now. But how do I hook up this transformation to each blog post? I want, when I view a single blog post, it shows this stuff. http://grab.by/zu9k I shouldn't have to do anything. This is the default display for blog posts right?

The only video tutorials I can find are on using the wysiwyg editor or don't even load. http://www.kentico.com/Product/All-Features/Social-Networking/Blogs

Hi,

I would recommend using the corporate sample site for inspiration. In general, you should have two different page templates - one used to list the blogs and one for the actual blog posts. You can have one template as well but then you need to set which web parts are displayed for which document type or level (using show for document types or hide on subpages properties). The idea is similar to a news listing.
