Adding and Editing an Entry

In Quick Blogcast, there are a number of locations from which you can access the New Entry page, including the Home page and the Manage Entries page. The New Entry page is your starting point for adding blog entries, podcasts, video, images, or any combination of these.

To add a new entry

1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. In the My Products section, click Quick Blogcast.
3. Click Manage Account next to the blog account you want to modify.
4. From the Manage Entries menu, click New Entry.
5. In the Title field, type the entry title.
6. In the Categories field, enter a category. You can leave this field blank and add a recurring category from the categories section on the left. This will allow you to add and select categories so you do not have to manually enter a category for each entry. This helps you keep track of your existing categories as well.
7. Enter and format the body of your entry in the text box.
8. In the Entry Settings section, you can configure the following settings:

   Status

   Select if you want to save the entry as a Draft or Publish the entry when you click Save. Saving in Draft status is helpful if you want to create an entry, but are not ready to have it display on your site.

   Timestamp

   Enter the date and time that you want to display in the time/date stamp.

   Comments status

   Select if you want to allow comments and set the default status of comments made to Open or Closed.

   Allow trackbacks

   Select if you want to allow trackbacks and set their status as Open or Closed. Trackbacks let you know if someone is linking to your article.

   Outgoing Trackbacks

   Enter one or more URLs that you want to notify of the creation of your entry. You can ping (notify) other blogs that you refer to in your entry or online blog directories.

   Permalink

   Specify the name you want to use for the permanent link to this blog entry. If you do not specify a Permalink name, Quick Blog assigns a name after you save the entry. The Permalink name cannot be edited after the entry is published. This will create a link that goes directly to the entry you are creating. You can add this link anywhere you want to send someone directly to this entry.

9. In the Categories section, click a category to add it to your entry. You can create a category by entering the category name in the text box and clicking Add. For more information, see Creating, Deleting, Combining, and Viewing Categories.
10. In the Excerpts section you can select an excerpt to display on the main page if your blogcast site. This gives readers an idea of what the post is about, or a preview of what they can expect when clicking to read the full post. To create an excerpt of the entry, highlight any portion of your entry and click Excerpt. An object tag containing your selection is placed in the Excerpt text box. For more information about creating excerpts, see Creating Excerpts for Blog Entries.
11. If you are adding a podcast, complete the podcast fields and click Add Podcast. For information about adding a podcast, see Adding a Podcast Entry.
12. Click Save.
