Create an account.

First, you need to register if you have not already. This will verify your email address and provide you access to your blog. Once registered, log in to WeBlog and click on create. Enter the basic information for your blog including title, your displayed name and email address related to this blog.

Once the blog is created, your information will be shown as entered. Also note your coded Userid. This would be used if you want to have a link to your blog without people knowing your open Userid.

Clicking on REFRESH will show no blog entries until you add one. Once you have some entries, you will see them when the refresh link is clicked. Note there is an EDIT function that will allow you to change or even delete a page entry.

ADD [HTML][Text] will let you make an entry into your blog. You have two choices for an editor. HTML uses a fairly simple WYSIWYG editor. Clicking on Text will bring up a very simple editor but one that allows quick pasting of code from another site, frontpage, etc. pages can be created by using html code. See creating html code for more information.

APPEARANCE will give you the opportunity to have custom graphics for your header, entry seperator and background graphics. Other graphics can be included, but you will have to provide a link to them outside the storage of WeBlog. There are options to turn these graphics on and off without having to change or delete your uploaded graphic as well as how your blog is displayed.

Feel free to play with your page. You can start all over with your blog by going to Create and re-entering the information. This will clear out all entries and let you start over.

Creating HTML code.

While the entry window is simple, WeBlog recognizes and allows you to create more intricate entries. Entries can be added by, but not limited to:

*** Direct typing. If you know html codes like , <h1>, then you can write your page directly just like using a text editor.

*** HTML editor paste. Use Frontpage or some other html editor to create your entry, go to the HTML tab, copy and then paste the code into the blog window. Remember that graphics other than the basic provided must be called from another site. If you have, for instance, web space on another server as for example www.yourweb.com and your graphic on that site is myphoto.jpg, then your graphic entry would look something like:

<img src=http://www.yourweb.com/myphoto.jpg>

Even though you use Frontpage or similiar, you may have to manually correct the web location of any graphics that you want to include.

*** Copy and paste from tutorial sites. There are many sites that provide tutorial and examples of appearances you might like to include in your blog. Cut and paste their code from there into your blog window. Again, remember any graphics will have to be referenced to an outside site. See the WEBLOG blogs for examples and ideas.
