### Home Blog (main blog)


The Home Blog will have the following properties:

- If not selected it will default to the first blog created.
- It's where you go if you click on blogs in the main menu (without expanding the menu).
- It's where you go as the home page if you select the home page to be a blog (in the general settings).

### Blog features

{CENTER} 
In order to have this module configured, you have to add some paramters as in the screenshot below:

{CENTER()}{img fileId="285" alt="" rel="box[g]"}{CENTER}

So this way, each language can have a module specific for that language, showing the posts of that blog (one blog per language), for a given time frame, specified in the parameters of the module definition.

In addition, you can show blog posts between two dates in a wiki page using the ((PluginBlogList|Blog list)) plugin, with the parameters for start date and end date.
