Hey pixelstation, since MODX 2.3+, Articles has been buggy. Most people now use Collections with getResources/pdoResources to list articles, Archivist for archives, Tagger for tags, etc. Collections is actively developed by The Boxer, a MODX insider.
I'll admit that putting some of the pieces together for the first time can be a little tedious. Luckily there's been a rise of full-featured blogging solutions for MODX. I'll mention two solid options:
Quill, authored by me and
Flatso, by Wayne Rudy (a MODX insider).
Check out Quill's official
online demo for more. You can install it to see how it puts all the pieces together. It's got a very easy to follow
user-guide, so you won't break a sweat getting used to it.
Let me know if you have any questions.
