Answer 1

You can use uDateFoldersy for this purpose. using it you will be able to do following with out any coding.

• Configure multiple nodeTypeAliases for landing (root eg. news, blog) nodes.

  • Configure multiple nodeTypeAliases for nodes to put in date folders (eg. article, blogpost)

  • Configurable property alias for date property (you can call it anything!)

  • Automatic folder creation occurs on the Saved event.

  • Change of a date in a node results in the node being moved.

  • Moving a node to another date folder results in the date being changed.

  • Year, month and day folders can be disabled

  • Nodes can be created directly on a year or month folder, and will stay at the folder.

  • Define your own date folders (if you want)

  • The package includes mvc view and a master page.

This will make your development a lot easier as the basic features needed to implement for a standard blog will be done with this extension.

A complete blog package is UBlogsy, it has tags, categories, authors, data folders and more. Also working in Umbraco 7 (see details on downloadpage)

For a blogwebsite I created my own Razor scripts to run it the way I want it to Run ;)
