Creating a blog

Creating a blog​

  2. Click New Blog.
  3. Enter a Blog Name. The web address is generated from the name automatically; edit it directly if you want a different one.
  4. Set Published? and Members Only? as needed.
  5. Add members to Editors if you want people other than full admins to manage this blog's posts.
  6. Click Save.

Blog settings​

Blog Name Shown to admins in the blog list, and used as the heading on the blog's public page.

URL Generated from the name as you type. Edit it directly if you want a different address; once you do, it stops following the name automatically. The full address is shown as <your-club-domain>/content/<url>.

Published? If not published, only admins with Manage Content and the blog's editors can view the blog and its posts.

Members Only? When enabled, only active members can view the blog and its posts. Admins and the blog's editors can always preview it.

Editors Members who can manage this blog's posts without the full Manage Content permission. Search for and add members here; they can create, edit, publish, and delete posts in this blog only. They can't change the blog's own settings, delete the blog, or manage any other blog.

note

An editor just needs to be added to this list. They don't need any other admin permission granted separately.

Adding a blog to navigation​

Once you've created a blog, add it to the site menu so visitors can find it:

  1. Go to Admin > Site Content > Navigation.
  2. Drag the blog from the Available Pages list into the menu.
  3. Save your changes.

See Navigation for more details.

Managing a blog's posts​

Click a blog's name, or use the Manage Posts action in its row menu, to go to its list of posts. See Writing and managing posts.

Deleting a blog​

Use the Delete action in a blog's row menu on Admin > Site Content > Blogs.

warning

Deleting a blog removes it from navigation and makes its posts unreachable. It doesn't delete the individual posts.
