New post: starting a site with the blank profile (10 June 2022)

[ryan]

When we released ProcessWire 3.0.200 one of the biggest differences from prior master/main versions was that PW now only includes 1 profile: the site-blank profile. This means there's probably going to be more people starting with it than before. Yet it is so minimal that I thought it deserved a bit of a walkthrough in how you take it from nearly-nothing to something you can start to build a site around. Everyone will have a little bit different approach here, which is one reason why the blank profile is a useful starting point. In this new post, here are some steps you might take when starting a new site with the blank profile—

That's a good Blog post! I really want to read a part two, (and maybe three?). ?

Also very useful for new starters, I believe.

Part two with "Adding in relevant 3rd party or Pro modules" would certainly help newcomers as well, in addition to "Optimizing settings in /site/config.php".

Even though I have been using ProcessWire for 7 years, starting a fresh install with the blank profile showed me a few new things. Good work, part 2 would be great.
