There may already be at least one blog created for your chapter, but you can create additional blogs if needed.

Blogs page opens.

3.      Under Title, enter the title for the blog.

 

4.      Under Default page, select the page where the blog will be located. 

If you have already created a page for the blog, select it here.

If you have not already designated a page for this blog, you can create the blog without selecting anything here, but if you use a Blogs (blog list) widget, you’ll need to create a page for the blog to display by default.  You can create that page and edit the properties of this blog later to designate the page.

 

5.      You can change the automatically generated URL of the blog by clicking Change under Blog URL, and then entering the new URL in the input area.

 

6.      You can specify if you want an RSS feed to be generated for this blog by clicking Alternative publishing (RSS) and selecting RSS feed checkbox.

To change the settings of the automatically generated RSS feed, click the Change button. Click Done when finished.

 

7.      Click Create this blog.
The system creates the blog, then the 
Create posts page opens for this blog.
