Starting point for microblogging?

The CMS Questions
1

Folks, unsure whether this is the right place to ask or start, but I’m looking into whether Kirby is a good solution to carry my current (micro)blogs, like https://status.z428.eu or https://frame.z428.eu . At the moment they run Bludit which is close to what I want but lacks some features I’d like to have, some features I think I’ve seen around in Kirby, and Kirby generally seems a bit more consistently maintained.

So to ask: Where to start for going down a microblogging route with Kirby? I’ve briefly thrown a minimum installation onto one of my servers and am just slowly moving forth, it’s quite a thing to wrestle so I’m unsure what should be next.

Thanks very much,

Kristian

Welcome :slight_smile:

The Blog cookbook would be a good place to start. Creating a blog | Kirby CMS

Take note of the further reading links towards the bottom of the page.

It is also possble to modify the page create dialogue, so you can blog directly from the page creation step. There is a video explaining how to do something like that here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC9Up05WVnI
