Hello Martin, I've written a little about my experience with using Radiant for a blog-like content here:
http://depth-first.com/articles/2007/11/07/paginated-archives-in-radiant-cms-the-power-of-minimal-but-extendable-systems But recently, I've started using Simple Log, which I now think would have been a much better alternative: http://depth-first.com/articles/2008/05/14/the-daily-molecule-the-wonders-of-chemistry-one-molecule-at-a-time Simple Log handles just about everything a blog needs in a very minimal system. It does away with the Typo approach of sidebar plugins in favor of plain old Rails coding, which might not work for everyone. Best, Rich ___________________________________ Richard L.
