Add existing blogs or blog libraries to a page

You can add a JSR 286 web content viewer to a page to point to an existing blog or blog library on the site.

Refer to the following steps only when you are adding a web content viewer portlet from the Page Properties menu and configuring this web content viewer to point to an existing blog or blog library. To create a new blog or blog library, use the Customize link to add a blog or blog library to a page. Tagged web content displayed in the JSR 286 web content viewer is only available when there is a single instance of this portlet on the page. When you click a tag result, the Tag Center broadcasts the information on what content should display in the viewer using a public render parameter. If you have multiple instances of web content being displayed in the JSR 286 web content viewer, then these instances display the content that you tagged rather than display the original content of these instances. Refer to the related links section of this topic for a link to more information on public render parameters.
