CMS Pro - Microblog Project?

Got an email with a code … But I just want to start with a simple Microblog and add more later.

I installed the Microblog in a folder on my main-website.com/microblog and it comes up okay.

Now, is it possible to install CMS Pro and later CMS MCP Server with Claude on the Microblog site?

Will I be able to update the Microblog to a more advanced blog in the future?

Is there an info video for the Microblog? If not, please make one.

”Up and running in minutes”. Is this after watching the CMS videos, reading the manual, and checking the CMS questions in the Forum?

I assume you mean the online CMS component. So the answer to the first part is yes. Create a new page in the Project, put the CMS Online Editor Component on that page. Publish your site. In your browser, go to that URL (e.g. yoursite.com /online) and follow the instructions to create your administrator/password.

However, if you’re going to do that, I’d strongly suggest that you first build out the YAML frontmatter in your CMS in the Project itself, as the online editor will inherit that. In other words, if you want a “published” field, add it to the microBlog Project first.

I assume you mean can you later, when the AI integration is completed by Realmac, then use Claude to style, change, edit, fix, add to your site? The answer to that is yes.

What you’re doing is establishing structure (current Elements CMS via microBlog, adding online editing via the pro feature, and then later styling probably via Claude). That’s a reasonable approach, though for someone not sure of what style/structure they really want, it might not be faster than learning Elements and building out from scratch.

Thanks for info. @thominator I will read about the Frontmatter in the manual.

I started to watch this CMS video - https://youtu.be/F0C35ZbTvoY?si=fTwnWOl0caepy01i by @ben but got stuck before since I didn’t have a CMS page. With the Microblog installed I can continue …

I would suggest starting with Part 3 of that series, as some of the basics I didn’t get from watching Part 1 are explained there. Then it all makes sense. Good luck!
