How to add a Blog post

 

Blog posts should be used for short, informal, conversational posts. The Blog content type is available by default - you will need to enable it in the main menu to see your Blog listing page.

Site Managers can revise a Blog title and add text to introduce the blog.


Create a Blog post

  1. Click My Workbench.

  2. Click the Create/Manage Content tab.

  3. Select Blog post.

  4. Click Add blog post.

  5. Add a Title.

  6. Enter the required Date field of when the blog post is written in the format Jun 15 2017.

  7. Under Topics, add any keywords that you would like
    separated by comas. This allows the blogs to be filtered, so a person
    can find a specific blog topic without having to search through the
    entire archive. 

    Note: Topics are case-sensitive. For example, "Time management" and "time management" would register as two separate topics.

  8. Add a listing page image for social media if applicable.

  9. Add Body text.

  10. Select any Podcasts or upload any Transcripts you would like to display in the blog post.

  11. Add Author information. This field allows you to link to a Contact or Person profile on the site or
    to the Author's own personal web page. If the Author information is left
    blank, the author of the post will automatically be the WatIAM userid
    of the person who created the blog post.

  12. Click Save.

  13. Change Moderate state to Published and click Apply.
