Hi! Would you recommend creating a regular Wix Blog and customizing custom post pages with Velo to make it appear the way I want, or is it better to just create my own blog from a database I create from scratch with dynamic pages and repeaters?
What are the pros and cons in terms of SEO, page speed, design customization, and needing to write the least possible amount of custom code?
I feel like dynamic pages from a new database would be easier, but I feel I might be missing something that Wix Blog provides.

I have this question too. I’m personally leaning towards dynamic pages. What might be a possibility is to combine the two:
- Have a collection (say “Posts Extra”) which stores additional information for each post which you want to display
- In that dataset, have a field which is a reference field to the specific Wix Blog Post from the Posts collection
- Add a Posts Extra dataset to the Post Page of Wix Blog and connect your extra elements
- Filter the dataset so that it has to match the reference field (a bit fuzzy on how to do this)
Do you think that would work?
