I have some doubts in showing blog menu along with main navigation structure. I am evaluating Umbraco with a starter template. The starter template has a blog menu link (by default) which navigates to in-built blog. I have installed Articulate blog and has disabled in-built blog menu link which'll otherwise create route conflicts.
Here is a screenshot
As per the above screenshot, my website will have main menus - Learn, Explore, Extend and Contact. I know I could update MainNavigation.cshtml to position the blog link at the end of the menu. However, this approach will not take care of the inbuilt sorting option coming with Umbraco since Articulate blog is different document type and is outside the menu hierarchy of Home.
How can I make Articulate Blog menu also listed in sorting so that I could position blog menu wherever I prefer instead of doing manually? How about adding a menu under Home which redirects to /blog/, something like that.
Ah! I totally forgot that we can add child nodes to any page. I updated DocumentType child-nodes of Home page to show Articulate. Now it is showing as expected. However, I also got errors whenever I try to publish blog post or add author as shown below, which got resolved somehow.

You should be able to just create a new Articulate Blog node beneath Home and configure it like you want.
