Creating Blogs

How to:

A blog is an interactive content item that operates as commonly-seen blogs on the internet. It allows users to post and view comments. Blogs abide by the same security rules that apply to other items in the repository. You can publish, unpublish, hide, and move blogs between domains or folders. You can also share blogs with other users and groups.

Procedure: How to Create a Blog

  1. In the Resources tree, right-click a domain or folder, point to New, and then click Blog.

    The New Blog dialog box opens.

  2. Type the requested information in the dialog box, as follows.
    • Title. Value displayed in the Resources tree that is used to identify the blog.
    • Summary. Optional explanation of the blog. It is displayed in the ToolTip when the mouse hovers over the blog.
  3. Once you have provided the appropriate information, click OK.

    The Comments window opens.

  4. Click the Add comment link to add a new comment.
  5. Once you are done adding and editing comments, click Post to post the comment and close the Comments window.
  6. You can optionally interact with the comments by using the following commands:
    • Click the Refresh icon in the comments menu, to refresh comments.
    • Click the Search button in the comments menu, and type a key word or words in the search field, to search through comments. You can specify the search criteria by clicking the arrow next to the Search button and selecting search criteria, such as user name, content, or meta tags.
    • Click the Remove All button to remove all comments from all users. The Remove All option is only available to managers, developers, and group administrators.

    You can now publish, share, and add your blog to a page.
