How to post a new blog entry

[airwalkrr]

Okay, I give up. I have searched all over this site and I cannot figure out how to post a new blog entry. Can anyone help?

 

[Morrus]

You go to Blogs, and click on "Create New Post".

I apologize if I am being just blind or daft, but I do not see such an option. Are you talking about the "Blogs" tab on the top of the page between "Forums" and "Wiki?"

 

[Morrus]

Yes, that page.

Could you post a screenshot of what you see on that page? Maybe there's a permissions error.

It's the same for me. When I go on the Blogs tab, it gives me these 3 options: Recent Entries, Most Popular, and Member Blogs.

Here's a screen shot...

Did you look over to the right?

 

[airwalkrr]

That button does not seem to appear on my screen.

 

[Morrus]

How about now?

I couldn't see the button yesterday, but can now.

OK, figured it out. It was set to subscribers only. I was wondering why, and switched it to all registered users, and immediately we got hit with a hundred or so spam blog entries. That, I guess, was why.

So I've switched it back; sorry. I have to find some way of blocking those blog spammers.

Edit: Okay. Perhaps require folks to answer an email or a captcha to activate their blog?

We use both extensively. They don't even slow spambots down these days.

Alright. Not a huge deal since I have my blogger.com blog to post to as well. It is just convenient to post my D&D-related stuff to EN World.

I figured it was something like that.

Hmm - I can't post blog entries either, and I'm sure I'm a subscriber.

Any thoughts, Morrus?
