Blog

The blog component is unique in that it has more than one section of html to style over multiple dynamically created pages. The blog component consists of the following:

   * Blog posts
   * Comments
   * A comments submission form
   * A blog archive page

For the best results you need to style each piece. Below you can see the html for each piece of the blog component.
