Q: How to manage my blog? And where is the manage entrance?

A: That is easy to find the blog manage entrance. As long as you login the website as your blog owner account, you will obviously find the manage link in your blog page. There exist 4 links with which you can enter the manage page for your blog management. If you can not find those links, maybe you have not been authorized as a standrad “SunBlog Owner” role successfully. Please contact the admin for more details.

Q: How to create my first post?

A: Please refer to the new tutorial [Writing New Post] updated for compatible with latest version of SunBlogNuke.

If you click the "Admin Blog" link which mentioned in last demo picture, you will should enter the administrative panel and find some options for your management as follows:

To create your first post you should choose the [Add New Entry] link. Actually writing new post is so easy that there is not any tutorial here and you just know the actual meaning for the following options:

Pinned Option : you can make your post pinned in the post list and let the reader clearly know it important. When the post is about the instruction or any other similar, this option is useful.

Display in HomePage: Sometime you maybe want this post excluded in the Home Page of your blog.

Full Show in Entrylist: If you want to let the post fully show in the entries list as the classic blog view, you can check the option.

EntryName: Maybe you are guessing that it is the post title alias, yes, you are right. That is alternative post title for SEO consideration. For example, you want to make the original title("How to install and configure SunBlog Module?") more concise("install and configure SunBlog").

Q: How to manage my posts?

A: Please refer to the new tutorial [Manage Posts] updated for compatible with latest version of SunBlogNuke.

Updated: This post was out of date and please refer to the new tutorial here - Integrated with Window Live Writer.

In the last two posts, we had described how to install, configure and use the "SunBlog" module in DotNetNuke(DNN) platform. Here we will continue to tell you how to write your post of "SunBlog" with Window Live Writer(WLW). You know, the Window Live Writer is so great for post management of web blog that "SunBlog" had supported this killer feature natively. And another reason is that editing a long blog post in the FCK editor is painful.  Anyone who has ever lost a blog post because of a login timeout knows just how painful it truly can be. I spend an hour or more writing my blog posts and to have it just disappear is enough to make you cry. Ok, if you haven't yet set up your WLW to post to your blog, now let us go ahead. It's really easy. Here's the simple steps below:

1. Start WLW, and progress through the first couple of steps, indicating you already have a blog, and that it's with 'Another Blog Service'.
2. Enter your blog URL and user account which related with your blog.
3. Select "MetaWeblog API" as the type of weblog.
4. Enter your Blog Posting Url: this is pretty easy to get. The default Url for SunBlog Should be "http://www.yourdomain.com/MetaWeblog.ashx" (Replaced with "http://www.yourdomain.com/DesktopModules/SunBlog/MetaWeblog.ashx" in v2.3.6 or "http://www.yourdomain.com/MetaWeblog.aspx" in latest version). Please make sure that you replace the "yourdomain.com" with your actual website domain.

After doing this, you should be good to blog!

Good luck blogging!

Since the version 2.4.x, we have enhance SunBlog greatly and try to make it as a ultimate content workflow platform. So we have updated the new installation guide for the new SunBlog. It will be easier and quicker for your life.
