About This Demo
The Inkwell Journal is a public demonstration of Inkwell, a self-hosted blogging platform for .NET and SQL Server. Everything you see is the real product: the reader pages, the editorial Desk behind /admin, the themes, the reports. The articles are sample content about writing, publishing and running a site with Inkwell, and the whole site returns to this starting point every weekend.
What to try
- Read. Start with the welcome post or the four-part First Week series.
- Write. Sign in, open Posts, and write in the visual editor or in Markdown. Schedule it, add it to a series, fill in the answer blocks.
- Restyle. Theme in the Desk switches between twenty layouts and sixteen colour presets with no rebuild.
- Operate. Read the Analytics, AI Crawlers, Security and Audit screens as a site owner would.
