  When you write a blog post, it creates a text file (metadata & content) in the /content folder, not an HTML file. Take a look at the Starter Kit (it's the best way to try Kirby): https://github.com/getkirby/starterkit https://github.com/getkirby/starterkit Look inside the /content and /site/templates folders.

    Thanks man! But how do I loop through this content? ie How can I write a small widget with all the recent posts?

      You can do whatever you want on your templates. If by widget you mean reusable code, you could use a snippet. So this logic can go on a template or snippet: <?php $latest = page('blog')->children()->visible()->limit(6); ?> <div class="widget"> <?php foreach($latest as $post) : ?> <a href="<?= $post->url()?>"><h2><?= $post->title()->html() ?></h2></a> <?php endforeach ?> </div> Instead of fetching the post on the template, you could use a controller and just pass the $latest variable to the template.

      Kirby doesn't output any markup, you have total control to over it :D The API for querying content is very powerful.
