Administer Blogs from the user interface

Make site-wide changes on the Blogs server from the Blogs user interface.

As the Blogs administrator, we can make site-wide changes to the blogs for the organization directly from the Blogs user interface. To do so we must browse to the Blog site using a URL similar to: http://BlogServerName/blogs. Once the site opens, login as an Administrative user. After login, click the Administration tab. This page allows you to make site-wide configuration changes.

From this location we can:

• Specify settings for the Blogs home page

• Specify settings for what blog creators can do – for example, whether they can apply custom themes or specify trackback links

• Administer users.

• Manage the cache

• Configure an administrator for Blogs
  By default, a wsadmin account is set to administer Blogs. Use this procedure to designate a Blogs administrator specified.

• Manage the Blogs Homepage blog
  The Blogs Homepage blog serves as the main page for your Blogs deployment and has some special considerations.

• Specify site-wide setting for Blogs
  Specify site-wide setting for all blogs in the organization.

• Manage a community blog
  After add a blog to a community, we can manage the blog from either the community or from the My Blogs page of the Blogs application. However, we can only manage membership from the community.

• Administer Blogs users
  As the site administrator, we can directly manage a user's blog.

• Monitoring the Blogs cache information
  The Blogs cache page is a central place where we can monitor the caches for the site.
