Faculty sites: The Blog feature is available on Full-Scale faculty sites. If you would like Blog and have a Simple or Advanced faculty site, upgrade your faculty site to Full Scale in order to get Blog.

This tutorial will cover how to add blog posts, edit blog posts, and how to add an introduction to your blog list.

Blog posts will appear in the order they are posted, with more recent blog posts at the top. The most recent blog post will be featured at the top, appearing larger than the others.

By default the blog lives under the 'Blog' link in the main menu. You can also access blog posts under Site Settings.

• Title: A title is required.
• Content author: You may connect a blog post with an existing people profile.
• Body: Create the main content of the blog post as you would a normal page.
• Summary: By default the first few sentences of the blog post will be used as a preview when the blog post is displayed in the blog. Use summary to define your own short description if you wish.
