Hi there, I am new to BSS. Until stumbling over BSS, I was using Bootstrap with a customized Onepage Wonder CSS for my business website, and I did all the editing in a simple editor. However, this was was far from ideal, as I had to design and update recurring elements like the navbar or the footer menu in several pages. The second painpoint was a blog that I wanted to add to the website later on, without having any CMS in the background.
So my questions are: 1.) Is there a possibility in BSS to create "recurring elements"? This would mean, that e.g. the navbar is edited once, and updates on every page. The "linked element" of BSS, as far as I have understood, is just a link in terms of styling, right? 2.) Is there a simple possibility to style a blog-overview page and blog-detailview page with BSS and link it to a CMS, so that the actual content of the blogposts are provided from a backend? There are elements in BSS for blogposts like "article-list", but as I understand, these have to be edited manually in BSS?
Thank you so much in advance!
Look at linked components for global elements that will be updated each tome you edit - https://bootstrapstudio.io/tutorials/linked-components
As for blog posts you will have to write each entry as it’s own page and link them from a Hub page if you want to manage a blog in side BSS.
Else just iframe a blog hosted with a tiger provider (WP) on a page but know that the UI won’t match 100% unless you develop on WP too

Linked components don't just link the CSS styling, they link the HTML as well. If you have a linked navigation bar on all your pages and add a new link on one page, it will appear on the navigation on all the other pages as well. If you have a linked contained and add a column, it will add the column across all the containers.
Bootstrap Studio is on a front-end builder. It has no ability to do blogs with a Wordpress style backend database, but you can always install wordpress in a subfolder of your website and style the blog to look like your website's UI. There are some other alternatives to Wordpress like https://b2evolution.net/
There are even some none database blog solutions like https://www.htmly.com/
