Adding a Blog Post or a Blog Page – Registered Users
Not all users have administrative permissions to write a blog post. Your community administrator can restrict users from writing post to all blogs or to specific blogs.
Blog posts are displayed by date and show on the home page
of the blog (depending on the date or tag filter defined). Blog pages
support the same options as blog posts but do not show on the home page
of the blog; instead, you must link to them directly through a blog
post, a link in the sidebar, or via search results.
If you have administrative permission to write a post or blog page,
you will see a link to the blog in the sidebar, as shown in the example
below:
You will see the links when you click on the post title (My Life as a Blogger in the example above) or on the blog’s home page. You can click Dashboard to open the home page for the blog (testblog in this example), which contains all of the posts published to the blog.
You must be a blog owner to write a post or page. If you do not see
this link to the Control Panel, contact your site administrator to
request write permissions for the blog.
Procedure
- Click the Control Panel link in the sidebar. The Write page displays.
- Select
the Write a blog post tab. You can write a blog page by selecting the
Write a page tab. From this point, the procedure is exactly the same
for writing a post or a page. Another Write page displays.
- Specify the blog settings on each tab. Click here for a list of settings properties.
- Click Save.
