Easily, just insert image into your XHTML code as usual:
< img src = "/media/images/my_image.jpg" alt = "My blog image" />
Regarding video, you can insert for example Youtube video into your code like this:
< div style = "width: 425px; float: right; margin: 5px 0 0 20px; padding: 0;" > object width = "425" height = "350" > param name = "movie" value = "http://www.youtube.com/v/JTqhrFTtsqQ&hl;=en&fs;=1" /> param name = "allowFullScreen" value = "true" /> param name = "wmode" value = "transparent" /> embed src = "http://www.youtube.com/v/JTqhrFTtsqQ&hl;=en&fs;=1" type = "application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen = "true" wmode = "transparent" width = "425" height = "350" ></ embed > object > div > div style = "width: 425px; float: right; text-align: center; font-size: 11px; font-style: italic; margin: 0 0 10px 20px; padding: 10px 0 5px 0; clear: both;" > strong > Video legend </ strong > div >

Where are these .xhtml files located? I was hoping that this would be like WordPress or other blog tools where you can add a pic and browse to upload.
Still think it’s great. ;>
Also, how do I enable RSS for the blog?

Well, there are no .xhtml files - as you might have noticed there is no WYSIWYG html editor on the backend side of Magento yet, so you have to write your blog posts in (X)HTML code - and that’s how you use above code snippets - you need to place those code snippets directly into your blog posts code where appropriate, that’s it

@wsj3. rss feeds once enabled in the config can be accessed by adding /rss to the end of the url. this will work for every part of the blog except individual post.
hope that helps

Martin, Thanks for the help on the image/video!
LM, I’m not sure where I put the /rss? At the end of which URL? I’d like something that enables the browsers ability to detect that a feed is available on the browser.
Thanks!

@wsj3 allowing browsers to detect rss feeds (rss logo at the end of url bar in ff3) is coming soon.
a url would be domain.com/magento/blog/rss

Great! Would it be hard for me to add some columns to the blog so I can have links to resoces on the left and right? Which file would I edit to allow that, or is that something you don’t recommend. It feels kind of vanilla without anything but posts.
Great stuff!

to add extras to the menu you would need to edit menu.phtml in the template directory.

Hi Lazzymonk,
It’s not clear to me how the RSS you describe is fixed or supposed to work? When I am viewing my blog in IE the RSS button is not highlighted, which is an indicator that the page is RSS enabled? Is there something I need to do to enable this? Do I need to upload a new version of the blog?
Thanks!

rss has to be enabled in the blog config.

Hi All,
I have just installed the blog and its great! Thanks very much!
Just having problems adding images and links into my posts.
< img src = "{{skin url='images/media/consolidated.jpg'}}" border = "0" />
to add image
< a href = "{{store url=""}}contacts/" > Contact Us </ a >
to add a link
but it doesn’t seem to generate the right URL i.e skin url and store url do not get translated.
Any ideas?
