Create a Blog

To create a new blog channel go to the blog's page and click on + icon above the existing blog channels (only members with "Full" access can create new channels). Give your blog channel a name and perhaps an introduction header by clicking the  action button.You are able to add articles from two locations, first from the blog page and second from within a channel you have created. Both methods are done by selecting the Add Article button in the top right area of the page.
(only members with "Write" or "Full" access for a particular channel can add new articles).

Once you've made an article you can create content, add links to other webpages, add pictures to it, or embed media on the page using the web editor.

Pending your Blog Post Date

Once you have written a blog article you can set the publish date. If you want your article to be published coinciding with a future event (an upcomming report, release date, etc.) simply set the publish date and time you want the article to come out. You can find your pending posts accessing your To Do's.

Attachments

When posting a blog entry you are able to attatch a file to your post. This file can be anything which falls under the 30MB upload limit.

• To add an attachment, you must be in edit mode. 
• Click "Add Attachment" and you can upload up to 20 files.

Removing or Editing a Published Blog

If you've published an article that you are not satisfied with you can select edit from the articles action drop downit to fix it up or if you'd like to remove the article entirely,  you can click "delete" from the posts action drop down.

Tips for Writing a Blog Article

• Successful blogs are engaging, entertaining and thought provoking to their readers, and have a distinct voice and personality. The ideas are well presented and easy to follow.
• Some blogs may be funny, intense, or informational based on their content, but all blogs should be truthful, respectful of your audience and relatively consistent.
• Blogs are not news stories; they are commentaries on newsworthy events.
• You are not limited to one entry per day or week.
