<p>quick dirty overview howto</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div><br /> This is a quick overview of super experimental and basic collective blogging facilities on the prototype OSGeo '[http://community.osgeo.org/ community]' site. I thought this would be better here than in email.<br /> <br /> == How to Work It ==<br /> <br /> * Log in to site <br /> * Follow '''create content''' link in menu on bottom right (currently) <br /> * From exciting range of content options to create, choose '''blog entry''' <br /> * Write blog post. This especially does not need to be long, involved, poetic or thoughtful. It is probably better to write a paragraph a week than an essay a month. <br /> * Select from list of 'Activities' aka Committees, which group this blog entry is most relevant to (can choose more than one if wishing)<br /> * Press '''Preview'''<br /> * ''Remember this only gets you a preview stage, then you must scroll down and press '''Submit''' after the preview and this can be non-obvious.''<br /> * Then your bloggage appears on the bottom of whichever committee pages you attached it to. Or can also be hauled out via RSS or through a &quot;planet&quot; like view on a per-committee or per-person or whole-lot-at-once basis.<br /> <br /> == How it Works Underneath ==<br /> <br /> What hauls the blogs out per category is a custom block. It is called ''news/blogs by category'' and you see it at the top of '''administer-&gt;blocks'''. Inside it has a nasty SQL query embedded in PHP. It is configured to only show up on certain pages - that is a list set manually at the bottom of the block configuration page. So if you add a new Committee/other menu item on the left (through '''administer-&gt;menus''') and want category based blogging to show up on it, you need to add the path to the new page, to the list in the block.</div>
