How blogs work in Basker: what they are, when to use them, and how they relate to posts
A blog in Basker is a container for editorial posts. Posts can be news entries, journal articles, program notes, behind-the-scenes pieces, or other time-based editorial content.
Each blog has its own page on the live site. This page lists its posts in reverse chronological order, with whatever filtering and grouping your theme provides.
A site can have one blog or several. For example, separate blogs can keep public-facing news distinct from production-specific program notes.
What a blog contains
- A title and description that introduce the blog on its landing page.
- An optional header image for the blog's landing page.
- A list of posts that belong to it.
- The categories and tags the blog uses to organize posts.
Categories and tags are scoped to a blog. A "Reviews" category in your news blog and a "Reviews" category in your program-notes blog are separate things.
What posts contain
Posts are the individual editorial entries that live inside a blog. Each post has its own URL, its own page, and its own SEO metadata. See Create a post.
When to add a second blog
A second blog makes sense when the editorial streams have different audiences or different publishing cadence. It also makes sense when your theme applies a different visual treatment to each. Otherwise, a single blog with categories and tags is usually enough.
