Blog for Evolution?

Any suggestions for best (and easiest) setup for a blog on a current Evo site? Client is not very technically oriented, but wants to post bloggy thoughts (doesn't need comments capability).

Thank you!

Easiest way to do it would be to use Ditto ( http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Ditto )

Your post title is confusing. Blog for Evolution could mean a blog for Evolution the cms it self. What you have in mind is a blog on an evolution website. We'll Ditto is just doing that, it aggregates documents to create blogs. MODx Evolution comes shipped with Ditto and works straight out of the box. Anyway, I found this after 1 minute searching in the forums:

If you decide to stick with Evo, you could do worse than look at PubKit, which will let you create a simple front-end form-based input for your techno-timid client.

Thanks for all responses, and apologies for any confusion introduced. Ditto is available, of course. I was wondering if anyone had come up with something out of the box, as it were.

I did read a bit on PubKit but it seemed to be aimed at earlier versions of Evo. Will examine further.

Again, thanks for your thoughts, much appreciated.

It's quite long but all the info's there and lots of links to outside tutes. This is where I started and created my blog in Evo years ago.

I'll be recreating it in Revo soon, so good luck.

PubKit is good. However, QuickManager+ with some creative ManagerManager and QuickManager+ configuration in conjunction with Ditto and Jot can make a very nice front-end blogging tool.

Revo almost matches it with QuickBar and Form Customization along with getPage, getResources and Quip. One of these days I'm going to add MIGXdb to the mix. I really, really don't like Articles.

And thanks to MarkG and sottwell! My problem with "some creative...configuration" is that I'm not sure I'm that creative! Should have investigated (and tried) this a long time ago. Lots of links are always useful, and again, much appreciated.
