Blog Settings |

To
configure your Blog page...
- From the XSite drop-down menu in the main toolbar, click Blogging.
- From the Blogging menu, click the Settings option.
- Complete the following items, then click Save.
Blog Title - This text appears at the top of your Blog page.
Button Name - Enter the text you'd like to use in your XSite menus. Make sure to use a name that will fit!
Web Address - Type a short name for this page. This is added to your site's domain name to create the direct URL address of your Blog. You can provide this to any other bloggers or web sites that want to create a link directly to your Blog page.
Show ## posts... - From the drop down menu, select the number of posts you'd like to have displayed on your Blog page. Once you've exceeded this number, any older posts are automatically added to the Archive list, so users can always find them.
 |
Hint: The number of posts you include on your page should be dictated by the length of your posts. If you tend to post long items, you may want to limit the number displayed to keep your page from getting too long. | ||
Remind me to post... - The success of any Blog can be measured by the frequency with which it is updated. If you'd like to have a reminder e-mail sent to ensure that you update your blog regularly, click the check box to turn this feature on. Then, select an interval from the drop-down list.
Display Sites that link... - Just as you can create links to other XSite Blogs, those owners can create links to yours. Whenever that happens, you're notified via e-mail. Click the check box to add a list of those sites to your Blog page.
Activate blog - Click this check box to active the Blog page on your site. Likewise, if you want to remove your Blog page, just un-check this box.
 |
Note: Even though you de-activate the Blog page, the direct URL to your Blog page still works. Any links to your Web Address URL will still work. Likewise, your Blog content is not deleted when you de-activate the page. To clear your old content, you'll need to delete each post individually. | ||
Moderate Comments - Readers of your Blog have the ability to post comments to any of your posts. If you'd like to preview those comments before they're posted live on your website, then turn on this feature. Once enabled, you'll have to visit the Moderate section of your Blogging tools to either approve or delete any comments.
Search Engine Tools - These settings are used to help search engines know how to categorize your Blog page. Consult the Page Search Engine Tools section of this guide for more information on these settings.
