Add a blog or blog library to a page
With Editor access to the portal or the portal page, we can add a blog or blog library to a page. Choose a blog to collaborate with the team on a single topic. Choose a blog library to collaborate with the team on multiple topics in a centralized view.
Refer to the WebSphere Portal Family Wiki for an example of how we can modify the custom theme to enable the capability of adding blogs and wikis to a page.
- Create a project or access an existing project, and open the project in edit mode.
- If you have not already done so, create a page for the blog or blog library or open an existing page.
- Click the Content tab, then click Communications.
- Click Blog Library to add a team blog or click Blog to create a single-topic blog.
- Click Add to page.
- Provide a name. Then click Add.
The name is used for the portlet title, library display title, and library name. It can contain alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following characters: $ - _ . ! ( ) ,. If we use other characters, they are replaced by those that are supported by the Web Content Manager library.
- Click Save Draft.
This action copies the appropriate IBM Web Content Manager blog template library and places an instance of the web content viewer on the page.
After we publish the site with a blog library, click Create Blog and Create Post to add content. Click Edit to modify content. To delete a post, click Delete.

Tagged web content displayed in the web content viewer is only available when there is a single instance of this portlet on the page. When you click on 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 web content viewer, then these instances will display the content that you tagged rather than display the original content of these instances.
