Blog Authors can access their blogs to write posts in two ways:
- In the Member Profile, under Your Website Functions
- On the user side of the blog, by clicking the Manage Posts link
If you're the author of more than one blog, you'll see a dropdown menu allowing you to switch between blogs.
Click the Add Post button to begin writing a new blog post.
Fill in the title and summary. Your website administrator may have specific tags to use for posts; contact them if you have questions about the tags you can use in your post. Choose a Share Image to use on social media when you share the post. Use the text editor to write the content of your post, including images and links.
Post Statuses
When you write a blog post, you have the option to save it as a draft, publish immediately, or, publish at a later date.
- Draft - The post will be hidden from view and will not be published. The draft can be revised and viewed by blog authors and administrators.
- Ready to Publish - If you want to publish immediately, leave the fields blank. If you want to publish at a later date, enter the date and time.
- Offline - Later, you can remove a post you've written without deleting it by choosing Offline.
