    Hi all, There are pretty much thousands of free to download templates out there and most of them include a blog area, which then consists of the blog main page and the single posts pages. What i don't understand is how a make a blog like this actually be a blog -- that is, not having to type code and make changes every time i post a new blog post. Currently being on Blogger (but it's also the same on Wix, Wordpress etc) the only thing i have to do is type in the title, type in the text and click Post. Then, somehow Blogger arranges the main page so that the newest post appears on top, then the previous one, then the one before that, etc. It also arranges the Archive in an appropriate way, by date, so readers can find what they want. However, is there really a way to do that if i choose to host my own website with a blog area? None of the templates takes care of this. You have to edit every page separately and re-arrange the main blog page every single time, which obviously is going to be a mess after a while. Please Help. Thanks ! I didn't find the right solution from the internet. References: - https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/getting-a-blog-to-function-for-dummies.2810330/ - b2b videography tips

      What you need is a content management system (CMS), not a template.

        Spammer: the question is copy'n'paste from his first reference, and there to "support" the link to his site.
