    How to: Litnet blogs

    How do i set up a blog


    With the new blog system, you automaticly have a blog set up under you username. In order to make it "live", i.e. appear to other users, all you have to do is;
    go to the main blog page
    On your left of the screen you will see an area called "options"
    Select "post to your blog"
    type in your entry and press the post button. This will activate your blog.

    You can break your blog up into catagories to make it easier to locate entries. to set up a catagory, go to blog catagory option in the blog Control Panel.
    Select "Add new blog Catagory".
    give it a Title and a discription of what the catagory is for.
    Select whether or no you want it apart of a parent catagory that has been set up or no parent catagory.
    Select display order (Ie 1 for the top, 2 for second etc)
    Press save changes.

    I've noticed a "ratings" system for blog entries. For kicks, I rated one of my own entries, but I couldn't find any way to see/view or access a display of the ratings. Am I missing something? If so, can you help me find it?

    I am a new member, and I still have no option to 'post to my blog' - how can I start a blog? I want to post some poems.

    Which entry did you try and rate and i'll see if it shows up for me. If not, i'll have a root around and see what to do.

    Hey Niamh!

    Thanks for investigating. I think I rated "From the Comedian's Journal" and the most recent entry.

    Thanks again!

    No. I see that the entry has been rated, but that's all. When I click on the starts, I'm simply told that the blog "has already been rated".

    Thanks again for your help.

    If you go to the main page of your blog, you should be able to see the ratings of your entries:

    http://www.online-literature.com/for...og.php?u=50498

    Also, when you go to the Blogs Home page and choose the "Best entries" option, instead of "Recent Entries" (which is the Forum default), you can see the entries that have been rated highly.

    Hope this helps.

    So how do I delete a blog entry or a blog draft? I've looked and looked, but I couldn't sniff out a way to delete an unwanted entry.

    I'm not sure about deleting, but you could edit and leave it blank.

    Edit: Actually there's a delete option when you go to edit your blog entries, the edit button is the little pencil at the bottom of your blog entry.
