I need help...
I just set-up a website, and I want to set-up several pages to run as a blog style. I understand this is possible through Jot and Ditto, but I’m completely inept with Modx and don’t know how to create a page to use these features.
I’ve tried following the directions on the "Template for Blogs" page, but I’m lost. I’ve uploaded the files in the "Light" folder to my /assets/templates folder, but I can’t figure-out how to perform the following directions:
"Create two new templates, Light and Light-post, and copy/paste the text in the included template.html files."
I can create the two templates, but they’re not editable to copy/paste text into.
Also, the directions after that say to "create four chunks using the text of the included chunk.html files."
How do I create a chunk?
I’m desperate...

How do I go about installing the demo content with a functioning blog?
Just install an entire modx with content and have a look around ..
I believe there is some information on the wiki too..
Thanks...
I had to reinstall Modx with the demo content, and then I saw all of the templates...
I do have another question, though...
I want to have continuing threads on 4 different categories...
I want to do either of the following:
1. Create 4 different blog pages
2. Have one main blog page with the ability to select one of the 4 categories to post threads and comments about.
Are either options possible?
