Some blog issues

[PaulMc]

1.) The default number of tags you can apply to a post appears to be 2, though the instruction claims you may add up to 5.

2.) I was writing in HTML, which is turned off. That is okay, but when I clicked on "BBCode" and "IMG" (figuring there would be Help pages) they both went to the smilies page.

3.) When I thought I was saving my draft, it posted.

On my lone blog post, I've got 6 tags and I didn't do anything special to get them. The instructions say you get up to 25.

Yes, HTML is turned off. Best bet is to compose the post in the WYSIWYG mode. The editor loads in code view by default. To get to WYSIWYG mode, click the A/A button in the upper right part of the editor tool bar (last on teh right on the upper bar). Uploading images and such is a bit of a pain though....

I haven't messed to much with it, but it looks pretty complete, but it's Yet Another Thing I Must Learn, and I'm starting to feel too old and tired and too stupid to keep learning new things.

OK. Next question - am I in limbo, or is the Recent Entries list smart enough not to show my own entries?

I don't see my entry listed between you and Richard, and my tally reports '0'.

Can anyone else see my entry?

I am trying to figure out if I am still in private/draft mode and if so, how do I make the post go live?

If it is visible to others, then cool.

Thanks for the assist.

Well I saw it, that's how I got to it.....

Correction - I don't see a blog posted listed by you in teh blog posts section f the home page.

What go to was this forum post.

That woudl lead me to think you have not yet 'publised' your post.

Mae sure the Published Status under Misc Options is set to Publish Now and click Save Changes

Ah-ha!

That did the trick. Thanks!
