This chapter describes how to create a blog document with ManualWorks.

Creating Blog Documents

When you create a document on the Dashboard, select the <1Create Blog> menu.

Creating Posts

Click the <1Create Post> link to create a post.

In the post list, click the <more_horiz> icon to do the following tasks.

View

Opens the web viewer.

Update Post

Changes the basic information of the post.

Edit Content

Opens the editor to edit the post content. The editor is the same as for other documents.

Publish

Publishes the post. External users can view only published posts. You can make a published post private again at any time by selecting <Hide> from the same menu.

Move to Another Document

Moves the post to another document.

Set Labels

Sets labels on the post.

Delete

Deletes the post. You cannot restore a deleted post.

You edit blog post content with the same editor that you use for books and short documents.

Changing the Order of Posts

Drag and drop the <1drag_indicator> icon to change the order of posts.

Setting Categories

Use the <1Create Category> link in the "Categories" panel to create a category.

Drag and drop 2 to change the order of categories. Click 3 to change or delete a category.

Set the category of a post on the post update page. A post can belong to only one category.

Publishing

To let external users access the blog, publish the blog.

Unlike books and short documents, you cannot create tags. Therefore, you cannot publish by tag.
