Create a blog entry

You can contribute to any blog for which you have owner, author, or draft permission.

The permission you are granted by the blog owner controls whether you can post an entry directly to the blog or whether you can create a draft entry that must be approved by the owner before it gets posted. The permissions are as follows:

• Owner permission allows user to post entries, manage the blog and its users

• Author permission allows user to post entries, but not to manage the blog

• Draft permission allows user to save draft entries only

1. Open the blog that you want to contribute to, and click New Entry or click the New Entry button on the Blogs home page.

2. Enter a title for your entry.

3. Enter the text for your entry.

4. Enter tags for your entry. Tags are keywords that you can assign to describe the content in your entry. Tags make searching for content easier for blog readers. Note that tags must be entered as single words, or multiple words connected with hyphens or underscores. For example,

   social-bookmarking

   ,

   status_reports

   , and

   payroll

   would all be valid tags.

5. Click Advanced Settings to control these settings:

   • Delay posting an entry to a blog until a time and date that you specify.

   • Limit the number of days for posting comments for the entry.

   • Specify a custom URL– that is, you can enter some text that replaces the entry title in the URL that points to this entry.

   • Add a URL for a link to an external media, such as a podcast. Note that already have uploaded the file from the File Upload page.

6. Click Post to Blog to publish your entry to the blog or Preview to review your entry before posting. If you started from Blogs home and you have more than one blog, you are prompted to choose a blog. If you have Draft permission, your options will be Submit for review and Save as draft instead of Post to Blog.
