Installation

Module Download

This is the recommended way if you wish to customise the fields, views, etc.

Composer

composer require asgardcms/blog-module

This is if the contact module is perfect for your use-case as-is, and doesn't need any changes to fit your needs.

Note: After installation you'll have to give you the required permissions to get to the blog module pages in the backend.
