I am looking to migrate my site to umbraco blog system. Because I am more skilled in C# than any other language. But here is what i am trying to do:
If you take a look at the article in my website you will see that it has 10 items numbered from 10 to 1. What I want to do is - instead of pasting all the text in one large text area which is what wordpress does. I want to add items individually and dynamically. In the article above there are 10 items. But what if i want to add 20 or 50. For a given article it will have an introduction, item array [title|image|image source|body|etc], featured image, Hit counter, etc. As you can see there can be any number of items and I want to add them dynamically. There will be a requirement of at least 3 items. When the 3rd item is filled in the writer can hit [Add item] button to add another item. Can this be done with umbraco?
Yes - in fact there are a couple of ways of doing it. I generally do it be creating each item as a sub-node, and then just aggretating the data on the parent page using xslt.
Can umbraco do this?
Here is my website: http://akorra.com and here is an article within my website http://akorra.com/2012/06/13/top-10-struggles-of-people-with-disabilities/

You might be more interested in doing it via this package: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/repeatable-custom-content
