Creating blogs
A blog is an online diary to which you add dated entries. You first create a blog to hold your blog entries, then you create blog entries inside it.
To create a blog for your web site:
1       Open Web Publishing.
2       Open the folder in which you want your blog, if necessary.
3       Click New Web Page.
4       Select Blog.
5       Open the blog.
6       Click View in Browser to see the default appearance of your blog.
7       Change the appearance, if desired.
Click Appearance, then select the template you want your blog to use. You can view your choice by clicking View in Browser.
8       Change the default blog name, if desired.
Open the blog's properties to do this.



How others can access your blog
FirstClass blogs support RSS feed readers, so others can subscribe to your blog. FirstClass RSS support does two things on your blog page when viewed on the web:
•       adds a subscribe button
People who have a browser that displays this button can simply click it to subscribe to your blog.
•       adds an XML button.
Some browsers can't display the subscribe button. People with one of these browsers can hover their cursor over the XML button. This displays the URL to use for accessing your blog.
