How I Built my Blog in Webflow | CMS for Beginners

I recently added a blog to my Webflow site which forced me to finally learn how to use their CMS. Since I'd never used a CMS or built a blog like this before, I found it kind of confusing at first, but ultimately so worth it! And you'll see why, so in this video I'm going to show you how I built my blog on Webflow and explain why I decided to do this in the first place.

Thanks for the awsome tutorial Maddy, please keep on making kick ass tutorials :)

Got it. Disconnect, style, connect 🤘

Great video, it was exactly what I was looking for!

You forgot to talk about one important part though: linking the blog posts to the blog "menu".

For that, instead of designing the main blog page (with all the different blog articles) with a div block, use a link block. Then, on the right bar, go to settings and in link settings, choose "page" and "current blog post".

OMG thank you Maddy, this helped so much I couldn't figure out why the Style Guide changes in the template I purchased were not applying to the Rich Text parts in the blog <3

Thanks for this tutorial. I've created blogs before (on WP) and I never thought to number them as a way of sortation. Absolutely brilliant, thank you.
