Hi!, ``` I would like to know your experiences with Radiant for a blog. I ``` have taken a look to the blog related extensions available, and my feeling is that they are too immature. ``` Does anyone of you own a blog powered by Radiant? /AITOR ``` ---

Aitor, I’m making mine live at the moment now I’ve finally got my hosting sorted out. I’ve got a range of extensions I’ve made to make it work that I’ll be making available once it’s all finished, hopefully by the end of this week. I’ll post to the list once it’s done. Regards, Glenn ---

But it’s not a blog in the sense where it doesn’t accept comments. I like it that way - it’s my personal space, not my reader’s personal space 🙂 See [http://sohne.net](http://sohne.net) – G. ---

By parsing parent-child URLs? ---

I’m using the Archive Month behavior from Radiant (still running 0.5.2 since I’m too lazy to do the work required to upgrade my extension that drives the downloadable files section). For example, the monthly archive has a page title of %B %Y and has a single snippet in it together with the Archive Month behavior. \ - Are behaviors still in Radiant? I haven’t really kept up with recent developments, what has changed (major changes) since 0.5.2? – G. ---

Also, in the footer (Archives section header, followed by a list of dates in which articles were published), I collect the old articles into a dated list as below. ## Archives - "\> - "\> – G. ---
