PT Blog Getting Started Guide

Getting Started Guide

This getting started guide will walk through the steps to create your first blog, submit a blog post, and submit comments.

Create Blog

Creating the blog will setup the framework for your blog posts to be created. At the blog level, you'll define the name of the blog, select the subsite for the blog post pages, page template for the blog post pages, set the active flag, and set the flag to require comments approval.

1. Navigate to the "Blogs Manager" page that was created during the installation steps.
2. Select the "Add New Blog" and the form will open.
3. Enter the name for the blog.
4. Select the subsite for the blog post pages to be created within.
5. Select the page template for the blog post pages to be created from. This is the Blog Post template that created during the installation process.
6. Select the "Yes" value from the drop-down for the Active field.
7. Check the box for comments to require approval. This will require that comments for the blog must be manually approved before being displayed on the blog post details page.
8. Submit the form.

Now the blog is setup. The blog manager page will refresh and you'll see the blog record in the datasheet.
