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 — news entries, journal articles, programme notes, behind-the-scenes pieces, or any other time-sequenced editorial content. Each blog has its own page on the live site that lists its posts in reverse chronological order, with whatever filtering and grouping your theme provides.
A site can have one blog or several. Multiple blogs let you keep distinct streams of editorial content separate — for example, a public-facing news blog and a programme-notes blog for production-specific writing.
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 the blog uses to organise posts.
Categories are scoped to a blog, so a "Reviews" category in your news blog and a "Reviews" category in your programme-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, different cadence, or different visual treatment your theme handles. Otherwise a single blog with categories is usually enough.
