Can someone point me to a video with step by step blog creation in Elements? I know that it replaces the old system and uses CMS. I’d really like a video walkthrough. Thanks in advance!

There are 17 steps to do that in my Little Book of Elements CMS. Some of them are a little tricky, plus you have to understand YAML and twig to fully use the CMS. I’d say a video isn’t the way to learn how to do this, as you’ll be stopping it a lot (assuming it explains everything). That’s why I wro…

Thom, thanks for the reply! where can I get the book?

Mike, thanks for the reply! I’ll check this out!

I have deleted the video as my cleanshot account is nearly maxed out. Sorry can’t resist As for videos to explain, YouTube got it wrong, can you read and type or do you have to stop and type in from the page If you need a video to explain the basics no probs can do another one

@thominator Thom’s written instructions were very helpful to me as well. I sent you Steve’s link only because you asked for a video. I’d also like to know where to get Thom’s Little Book.

Thanks!! I’ll check it out now!

Thom, reading your book now. I’m a musician and have written books about music. Curious to what you have written!

You know, I’m on page 65 of your book and into my second beer. Then I had an epiphany. It was this: “Jesus fucking Christ. This is too goddamn hard to create a simple fucking blog post.” For Rapidweaver to be WYSIWYG, this is way too fucking complicated. I truly appreciate you writing the book…
