Built into Total CMS
Blog starter
Demo content: Fieldnotes, live to try
A blog with the newest post up front, a paged archive, post pages and an About page, plus five sample posts.
FreeNeeds Standard
Fieldnotes is a quiet, serif-set blog. The newest post leads with its picture, the rest follow as more stories, and the archive pages itself as it grows.
Posts live in Total CMS's built-in blog collection, so writing one is a form in the admin: a title, a picture, a date and the text. The five sample posts double as a short tour of Total CMS, and a Getting Started page explains how the starter is put together.
Install it
It comes with Total CMS. This one command creates a new site with the Blog starter already chosen; without TCMS_STARTER, the installer asks which starter you want. On a site you already have, run tcms builder:init blog instead.
TCMS_STARTER=blog composer create-project totalcms/totalcms mysitePoint your web server at mysite/public/ and visit the site. The setup wizard creates your admin account. On a Mac, Total CMS Studio does all of this without a terminal.
