    Hi all. I am new to Modx and I am trying to add a blog to my test site. I have followed:

    http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Creating+a+Blog+in+MODx+Revolution

    I have a lot questions, especially after searching these forums, but I will as them 1 at time. First is, I can't get anything to show up on the blog page. It is blank. The post is under the Personal Container, I can see it if I click the Personal Link and the read more but the main blog page is blank.

    The Blog main page resource ID is 4

    BlogPostTemplate:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <head>
    
    [[MetaX? &keywords=`mykeys`]]
    [[$googleLikeHead?]]
    <title>[[++site_name]] - [[*pagetitle]]</title>
    <base href="[[++site_url]]" />

    main Blog (4) page resource:

    [[!getResourcesTag?

    <ul class="pageList"> 
      [[!+page.nav]] 
    </ul> 
    </div>
    `]]
    
    


    If view the source on the main blog page the content looks like this:

    
    <div class="grid_10 suffix_2" id="content"><div class="line number1 index0 alt2"><code class="php plain"></code></div>
    
    <div class="line number14 index13 alt1"><code class="php plain"></code></div></div>

        Ok....I figured it out....I pasted the code on the main Blog page with the Rich Text Editor on. Corrected that and I can the post on the main blog page now.

        Stupid Mistake.

        Next Question. I would like to make the main blog page a container and move all the categories under it. Is this as easy as just moving the folder?
