Step by step instructions on getting your blog activated.

1) Log in to portal.

Note: Only portal members can create a blog.

2) Click on the My Blog link in the Site Navigation Bar.

Unless you already activated the blog for your account, you will be taken to a Profile tab and be given three options for setting up your blog.

Default Option: This is the easiest and fastest way to begin blogging right away. These settings can be modified at a later time by selecting Blog Settings in the blog Admin panel. This would be the best choice if you are new to blogging.

Custom Option: This option will allow you to modify the settings before creating the blog. This interface is the same as selecting Blog Settings from the blog Admin panel.

Wizard Option: This is a step-by-step wizard with screen shots and tips that will help you make decisions when setting up your blog. This is a good option for someone new to blogging and wants to better understand what the different settings mean.
