Easy Blog Customization

Marc S

Smug has done a fantastic job of making it easy to have a professional looking site.

How adding an easy blog feature on all of the templates? Something much like a gallery, or an "about" page that we can simply drop in.

I know we can use outside blogs and link them to SM. However, it would sure be nice to have the ability to simply add a blog that matches the rest of the template and not have to go through the whole CSS and HTML routine...something that was akin to having a root canal without painkillers.

For what its worth, I did follow the Smug Academy tutorial for a picture blog. However, it seemed to be lacking in terms of instructions. I had a tough time understanding it, and it still did not work after going through it step-by-step.

Anyway, keep up the great work!

Hi Marc,

This is a popular request:

And one we'd love to have, but we can't share any specifics about a timeline of if/when we could possibly have something like this. We'll see what we can do!

Take care,

Thanks Wendee. In the meantime, I'm enjoying the new SM and its easy customization process. Sure beats having to know code to make simple changes. Glad you went this direction. Looking forward to more.
