How do I Create a Post?
By WaiJe Coler | Tuesday, January 1st, 2008
After logging in you’ll be presented with a general selection bar at the top:
Simply choose ‘Write’ and you’ll be presented with this screen:
- These are your unpublished work. Published work can be seen by the public while your ‘drafts’ contains the posts you saved but have not allowed the public to see.
- The title of your post
- This is where you create the content of your posts. The bar below ‘Visual’ and ‘Code’ contain formatting you’re allowed to do.
- If you want to upload a file including images you would do so here. It’s as simple as that. ‘Browse’ and ‘Browse All’ will show the current files/images you are allowed to send to your post. More on this in ‘How do I Add Images to My Post?’
- You may create a new category on the fly and/or select a few other categories your post may fall under.
- Although autosave does exist for this blogging software, never forget to save your work and always remember to ‘Publish’ it if you’re ready for public viewing. You may also bypass the save steps and ‘Publish’ right away which would save your work and instantly make it publicaly available.

How do I add Images to my Posts?
By WaiJe Coler | Tuesday, January 1st, 2008
Simply browse for an Image on the ‘Upload’ panel below the textbox on the ‘Write Post’ screen.
Then click ‘Browse’ and find the image. You’ll be presented with this screen next:
Simply click ‘Send to Editor’ once you’re ready to send the image into the textbox where you write your post’s content. You may choose to ‘Show’ the full size of the image if you want, the title only or a thumbnail image. Once the image is in the textbox editor you can always resize it however you want.

How do I Comment on Someone Else’s Post?
By WaiJe Coler | Tuesday, January 1st, 2008
After each post on the main blogging page there is an ability to make a comment.
Simply click there and you’ll get the comment textbox where you are allowed to respond to the post. Be aware that there is an extra security process if you are not logged in. If you are logged in you may post comments pretty much on the fly without ’security text’ which is always presented if an anonymous user chooses to comment.
