hi GSOnline

For you to add a page just do the same thing what you did with "About me" page.

go to Admin > Post / Comments > Choose your blog > Pages > Add new

For Gallery2 you might wanna check this URL http://manual.b2evolution.net/Plugins/gallery2_plugin

What do you mean "latest blogs"? latest post? because that's easy

Thanks for that.

Indeed, I shall be basing it on the approach used for the About Me page. I'll check out the G2 link you provided too (thanks).

To answer your question, "yes" I do want to have a list of latest posts. Any tips on doing that would be appreciated.

oh the list of your latest post in in your widget. Go to blog settings > widget > maybe you can try add new widget in sidebar

Search the forum for is_default_page term, if you want a standalone homepage.

1. There's also a "Latest posts" plugin out there, if you don't like the default widget ;)
3. Check the summary.php or use "Bloglist widget"

Thanks guys... thing is, I want a section in the body of the page which shows the latest posts line by line... not to add a widget to the sidebar, etc. I just want some code e.g an include that would update itself whenever there is a new post...

why dont you like a widget ? a post list widget does exactly what you wanna do easily

yes but i want to include it as a section in the body!

so, just insert a "widget container" in your index.main.php, and insert the widget there.

can you tell us how tilqicom? is there a url or link in the forum on how to put the latest post in to the body of the blog?

thanks

aall you have to do is open up your skins's index.main.php and put the container where you would like it to appear, by inserting the below:

	<?php
		// ------------------------- "Homepage" CONTAINER EMBEDDED HERE --------------------------
		// Display container contents:
		skin_container( NT_('Home_Page'), array(
				// The following (optional) params will be used as defaults for widgets included in this container:
				// This will enclose each widget in a block:
				'block_start' => '<div class="h_page $wi_class$">',
				'block_end' => '</div>',
				// This will enclose the title of each widget:
				'block_title_start' => '<h3>',
				'block_title_end' => '</h3>',
				// If a widget displays a list, this will enclose that list:
				'list_start' => '<ul>',
				'list_end' => '</ul>',
				// This will enclose each item in a list:
				'item_start' => '<li>',
				'item_end' => '</li>',
				// This will enclose sub-lists in a list:
				'group_start' => '<ul>',
				'group_end' => '</ul>',

			) );
		// ----------------------------- END OF "Homepage" CONTAINER -----------------------------
	?>

this will display anew container in your blog ->widgets screen named Home_Page, insert whatever widgets you'd like to display there
