1. How do I create a new post?

After logging into your blog you can make many changes to your blog using the links in the navigation bar at the top of the page. To create a new entry, for instance, you’ll want to click the link “Write.” When you are finished clicking the “Save and publish” button will post your entry for the public to see and read.

2. How do I delete a post?

After logging in you’ll need to “edit” your post. You can do this by clicking the post’s link on the dashboard. Around the middle of the page you’ll find a button that says “Delete this post”, clicking that will, as it state, delete that post.

3. How do I post pictures from another website like Flickr?

You can simply include the HTML code for this. Services like Flicker make it very easy by giving you the code for your picture when you are viewing ‘all sizes’ of a specific photo. Just cut and past the code below the picture into your blog entry.

4. How can I get a new template?

There are several templates available for your use. You can change the current template by clicking on the “Presentation” link in the blog manager and choosing your new template. Many new templates will be added in the future. If you find one that you like let us know and we’ll see what we can do about adding it to the template gallery.

The basic blogging service doesn’t offer template editing. The enhanced blogging service will allow you to modify and add your own templates.
