Inserting a blog
A blog acts as a personal journal on your web page which hosts your own
published articles in an easy-to-use text editor. Articles can be commented on by
visitors to the web page.
In WebPlus, blogs are actually Smart objects, a common term to indicate that
they are intelligent server-sided objects hosted on the secure online service called
Serif Web Resources. As a result, a pre-requisite to using blogs, like all Smart
objects, is that you have a valid Serif Web Resources account which you can
create as you create your blog.
As a blog owner, you can manage the blog. Articles can be added, edited, or
removed, while visitor's article comments can be deleted. Another feature is the
ability to allow multiple authors to add articles to your blog (see WebPlus Help).
If you're on the move or working remotely, you can always monitor
and update this managed content by using Serif Web Resources. A
republish of your website is not necessary.
