Operation Manual

82 Smart Objects
requisite to using blogs, like all Smart Objects, is that you create a valid
Serif Web Resources account and a Site Membership Manager for your
site in advance.
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.
Inserting blogs
Blogs are like any object in WebPlus, in that you can easily insert one
onto a chosen page.
To insert a blog (on the page):
1. From the Quick Build tab (Smart Objects), click
Blog.
2. Drag the
cursor across your page to define the size of your
blog region.
3. If you don't have a Serif Web Resources account (or are logged
out), you'll get the Serif Web Resources login dialog. To sign
up, click Create Account under the New User? section.
- or -
If you're an existing user and are already logged in, you'll get a
Site Membership Managers dialog.
4. From the Site Membership Managers dialog, select the Site
Membership Manager for your site. If you haven’t already
created one, click Create New. (See Site Membership Manager
on p. 99)
