Adding posts to your blog is as simple as word processing with the familiar XSite Content Editor. To post to your blog:

1. Hover over XSite in the top toolbar and click Blog in the toolbar that drops down.

   

2. Click New Post in the Blogging pane on the left.

   

3. In the screen that appears, type a Subject for your new post. This text appears on your blog page separating each entry. The date and time of your post are added automatically.

   The subject and date items are listed on your blog page using the same color scheme as your "Left" or "Secondary" navigation settings, depending upon the Theme you choose. To change these colors, just edit your Theme Preferences.

4. Click to place your cursor in the main Content Editor section and write your post.

   

5. When you're done, click Save as Draft to save your work and return to post it later OR click Submit Post to place the post on your live blog immediately.

If you saved your work as a draft, you can go back and edit it at any time. To edit a draft on your blog:

1. Hover over XSite in the top toolbar and click Blog in the toolbar that drops down.

   

2. Click Drafts in the Blogging pane on the left.

   

3. Then, do one of the following:
   • To edit your draft — Click the Edit icon (  ) to the right of the draft which you wish to modify. In the Content Editor, write your post and then click Submit Post to post it to your live blog OR click Save as Draft to simply update your draft.
   • To delete your draft — Click the Delete icon (  ) to the right of that draft.
   • To post your draft — Click Post to the right of the draft you'd like to submit to your live blog.
