Blogs
From ADF Docs

Overview
Blogging in CommonSpot should be as simple and easy as managing events. Users should be able to add/modify/delete and reuse blog content easily. The reworking of the original blog application will build upon the lessons learned and take advantage of new ADF featuresF.
Getting Started
Requirements
- Each blog post should have their own page.
- Each blog should belong to a subsite.
- Searching should be available by blog.
- Tags should be used for both categorization and page metadata (keywords).
- Blog posts should have the option to display comments (or not).
- Blog posts should have the option to display trackbacks (or not).
- Users posting comments should be able to authenticate against:
- CommonSpot
- External DB
- Facebook (via Facebook Connect)
- Blog pages should display a 30 day calendar widget with recent blog posts highlighted like the Calendar of Events.
- Blogs should be managed from a central administrator.
- Blogs should have security to control who owns and who can post.
- Blog posts should have a "draft" status that allows the post to not be published.
Technical Specs
- Custom Field type for categories should preform better than the previous application.
- Calendar Element will be handled similar to Events element using a RH on the Blog Element with the proper filter.
- Creating a blog post will use the Add Blog Post Custom script which will create the page similar to the way the American AUpedia application is completed.
- In the Add Blog Post functionality a CS CFT Subsite would be used to create a new subsite for the new blog.
