Solution: activate (un-x) the individual blog entries under Content/
cgblog/Entries.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
created a "page" named "news", and included {CGBlog action="default"} in the"content text area."
There is also a dummy blog entry under the category "international".
What is the output supposed to be?
the post is not being displayed in the browser.
thanks

Did you read module help?
Help for the CGBlog module wrote:
To display the blog entries on your site you simply place the
tag into the content area of a page, or into a page template. The default behaviour is to display a summary report of valid, published blog entries. You can use the optional parameters (as described below) to alter the behaviour of the module.
action="default" - 'Override the default action. Possible values are:
* "archive" - to displa an archive report of your blog entries.
* "detail" - to display a specified entry in detail mode.
* "default" - to display the summary view
* "browsecat" - to display a browseable category list.
* "fesubmit" - to display a form allowing site visitors to submit news articles.
* "myarticles" - to display a report of all articles matching the current logged in FrontEndUser.

thanks for the post Marijus
I usually do try until things either work or become too stupidly redundant and I also read everything I can get my hands on before I post. The forum is my last line of defense, not first.
I followed the instructions in the help file, including all possible combinations, etc. => hence the post.
this morning, after having given up on the CGblog module for a couple of days, I realized that the blog entry itself has to be activated under Content/CGBlog/Entries, which displays the post correctly.
thanks

^ Ahhh... That happens to me all the time... I think it's best to set the default to 'Published'

CGBlog is just like news or any other blog, it shows a summary then a link to the detail content, if you just want the detail content don't put anything in the summary and it will show just content...

I don't think it comes with a style sheet but if you look at page source view or in the cgblog templates you will see everything has a div with a class on it that you target to style as you want...
