Even I am looking for the same solution. How can I limit the character that gets displayed on the main 'blog' page? Showing the whole blogs on the page is making the page too lengthy. Also, this reduces the chance of user going to individual blog post. This gives me wrong analytic count of how many users have really read that blog.
Can anybody provide the code that needs to be modified/added?
Got the answer for my query. You need to add {cut} in your blog post content body. This will cut the blog in two parts. The first part will be treated as summary part and only that part will appear in 'blog' page.
Hi,
Thank for this great plugin, but how to write 'tags' in post content ?
stradfred, for tags we just using "Keywords" as you can see http://monstra.org/blog
Hi Awilum,
This is exactly what I did, here's a preview picture:
My Keywords content
My template to get Tags
stradfred, it is ok ? or you see some problems ?
The problem, don't view any tag in blog-post page...
I find the problem, just forget to add echo 
Solved !!!
It is provided by the following form to add a comment and then manage them from administration plugin?
Congratulation for Monstra CMS !
if you need comments, try this plugin http://forum.monstra.org/topic/196/disqus-comments/
Yes I have this Disqus plugin, but I do not like third-party services that we have not owners.
For me a blog without comments is a News system 
How do I do if you want to see in the URL with only the title of the article contained in the parent category, such as TOP page?
I displays a list of the post in the news to the TOP page.

Thanks a lot~~
i just checked ur website i guess u found solution, all works well, so problem was not with plugin or documentation but only in .htaccess file
btw change ur login or password haha could be dangerous
Hi,
Thanks~Yes, the issue was fixed by following link:(http://monstra.org/documentation/installation), thanks for your suggestion.
But i still confused by some issues:
1. ex :http://zhanglei.about-bob.com/admin can't be access, but http://zhanglei.about-bob.com/admin/index.php is accessable.
2. i want create a new parent page "JobHappy", i hope "JobHappy" have the same function to blog, but for different web content.
i made a menu item "JobHappy", which point to page "JobHappy".
Actually, there some gaps between what i expected:
JobHappy doesn't point to JobHappy page, but point to Blog page.
"http://zhanglei.about-bob.com/jobhappy" and “ http://zhanglei.about-bob.com/blog” have the same content.
In administrator page, i can see JobHappy page and sub_page.
“http://zhanglei.about-bob.com/jobhappy/safdsaf " is accessable through admin->pages.
sitemap can show what i did.
http://zhanglei.about-bob.com/sitemap
Thanks in advance~~
1) i guess u still have problems with .htacces file.
2) no! blog plugin is blog plugin, if u want it to be jobhhappy u have to copy plugin blog and rename all files and functions inside plugin to jobhappy, example (Blog = Jobhappy, blog = jobhappy ) in case u have to do like i said, in another case could be easyer if u had only 1 plugin not blog and its copy...
i could be wrong and there is a simple way to do it, but i dont use blog plugin at all, so thats is how i would do if i need to
p\s i can acces the http://zhanglei.about-bob.com/jobhappy/safdsaf with no problems

Thanks for your suggestion, i am finding another way.
Hello,
I have installed Monstra 2.3.1 and Blog Plug in 1.7.3 and having a problem when selecting individual blog posts (ones which use blog-post.template.php) On these pages, the style.css is not loading and images are missing. If I inspect the missing logo, then the url has /blog/ added to the front (because of the parent page).
http://sitename/blog/public/themes/img/logo.png
If I change all urls in header.chunk.php to absolute urls, then it all works - but I'd like not to do this.
Is this something that anyone has seen before?
Thanks,
Mike
There is nothing to do with blog plugin i guess u made mistake with url or u watch my tutorial where i forgot to explain this part.
Ur url to images and styles must be like this
public/themes/yourthemename/yourfilename.css or jpg or png or wht ever
Hi RomanArt,
Thanks very much - yes, adding the before public worked for me!
Please also can you tell me if there is a way to have a template page list blog-posts containing only a certain tag?
e.g. ...but only for posts tagged 'gigs' or ' weather' or something?
Cheers,
Mike
