Hello,

I followed the tutorial on how to create a blog [http://getkirby.com/docs/solutions/blog](http://getkirby.com/docs/solutions/blog) but when in the CMS admin panel I can’t seem to select the blog article template for child pages (article). All I can select is page, project or projects. (First time users with demo account)

You would have to create a blog.php blueprint with the corresponding subpage settings:

```php
<?php if(!defined('KIRBY')) exit ?>

title: Blog
pages: 
  template:
    - blogarticle

```
