Creating and article list (or Blog) with IBM WCM 8.0

For those of you finding youselves struggling a bit with IBM 's Web Content Manager (8.0) toys, and would like to see a nice and big example, I've posted something on DZone.

For a recent project I was tasked with creating a small Blog platform for IBM Websphere Portal 8.0. The requirements weren't for a full-blown blog, complete with user comments, but rather for a place where authors could create and share business-approved articles.

As this is not a trivial task if you do not know WCM, I decided to document how to do this via a series of five DZone articles. The reason for doing it on DZone is so that it can reach a bit more people. On this blog I'll just list the URLs to those articles if you're interested.

Part I sets the scene and creates the WCM Library;
Part II creates the article authoring and presentation templates, the site area for our articles and discusses Element tags.
Part III creates the list view for the articles.
Part IV adds some authoring tools for external authors.
Part V concludes the series by adding everyting to Portal pages.
