Posting Blog:

 

A blog entry has at least one thing, that being the entry body. Everything else is just gravy.

A post that is Published will show up in your front page, a post that is a draft is not published to your front page, but instead remain hidden in the Authoring Suite.

 

It is also important to note that as of s9y version .7, that there are two main areas for administration.

 

 

Posting to Blog

 

Posting your Blog is easy! Enter your login and password. Then click on "Add Entry". From there, you are given the option to give your entry a title, a category, and to set the date and time of your posting (its default is the current date at time). Type in your post and even add pictures using the Image Manager Icon (hovering over the top of each icon on the bars above your post will display text as to what they are...look for the one displaying "Manage Images")

Posts will Accept plain text and HTML, and there are a variety of Markup Plugins that one can enable in order to beautify your post.

The Entry Body is what is displayed on the front page (and in your archives and RSS/Atom feeds) You can add additional text to the extended body, which will show up only when a user clicks on that particular entry.

Depending on which Plugins you have installed, you may have some of the following options available:

 

 

Publish or Draft, Choose a Category

 

You will be required to choose whether or not you want to publish your post or set it as a draft. The draft will not be published to the front page but will remain intact in your administration area so that you can edit it later. After choosing either publish or draft you can select which category you'd like to publish the entry in. You can setup categories by using the Manage Categories Link in the administration menu. Please note that you'll need to add categories using the manager BEFORE you'll be able to choose it for your entries.

 

 

Previewing your Post

 

It is wise to always preview your post before actually posting it. That way you can see exactly how the blog entry will look to those that come to your site. By using the "Preview" button, you'll be able to take an advanced look at the layout of your post and troubleshoot any problems that you may find.

 

 

Allow Comments

This will allow users to comment on your post. If you'd like it to be enabled, simply checkmark the selection box by clicking on it with your mouse.

 

 

Comments and Trackback Moderation

 

This will set all comments and trackbacks to require approval before they are allowed to post to your blog. Good for removing profanity, nonsense links, and other such material from comments of those visiting your website. If you'd like it to be enabled, simply checkmark the selection box by clicking on it with your mouse. PLEASE NOTE: If you'd like to be notified of comments posting to your site via email, you must have a valid email address listed under Admin Interface >> Configuration >> Your Personal Details.

 

 

Approve Comments

You can use the toggle box at the bottom of your post area in the Authoring Suite to enable comment moderation for you posts. This is handy in high traffic areas where you cannot moderate all the comments all at once. Toggling comment moderation on will allow you to go back and manually approve comments in your blog in the admin menu >> Comments and then selecting "Pending Approval" in the pull down menu titled "Show".

 

 

Manage Categories

Under the "Categories Menu" in the Authoring Suite you will find the link "Manage Categories". You can use this option to create new blog post categories or to delete them. You can also assign images that will appear for each category. There is also the option to have subcategories that branch out underneath your main categories. All in all, s9y allows you ultimate control over your bloggin category management.

 

 

View Statistics

Clicking on "Statistics" in the Authoring Suite allows you to see various information about your blog such as first and last entry, total entries per day, and statistics on comments.
