Hi Michael, Looking at your Blog Post definition, I think that the only field not already in the dmNews type is PingURL. The Blog Link is also much like a dmLink. It may well be worth extending or cloning some of the core custom types to save some time - I've done that in the past, and found it a pretty quick process.

It would allow authors to enter blog posts and have them display in standard blog format via display rules. It would include a comment management utility. Fields are so numerous I've started to wonder if I should a) break it up into distinct entries and comments custom types, or b) extend dmNews. This is a larger project than I expected, hence my reluctance to actually begin! Custom Type(s) ************************* Blog Posts 1. Entry text 2. Ping URL(s) 3. Date added 4. Date Modified 5.
