Can I create a wordpress-like blog with Builder?

- Create a post
- Categorize it
- build a page that lists all the posts that share the category

… that kind of thing?

Hi Jeffery,

Welcome to the forum! You can definitely create a blog in Builder, this guide should help you get started: [https://www.builder.io/c/docs/creating-a-blog](https://www.builder.io/c/docs/creating-a-blog).

If you want to tag your blog articles and then filter views based on those tags, you can achieve this using [custom fields](https://www.builder.io/c/docs/custom-fields). From there, you can query on those fields using our [Content API.](https://www.builder.io/c/docs/query-api)

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!

I went through the guide you provided, but I’m trying to create a blog post from within Builder. Is it possible to do this without having to connect to an API? I was under the impression that Builder could host the blog content. Please help me understand how to create a blog archive template, a blog single template, then add blog posts all within Builder if this is possible.
