Blogs<br />

Blogs (short for Web Logs) are a form of online information<br />

sharing. A blog is often set up so a group of people can share their<br />

thoughts on a subject. One person creates the main post and other<br />

comment on post. In addition, blogs can be used to create an<br />

online diary of everyday life.<br />

In the <strong>Ektron</strong> <strong>CMS400.NET</strong> Workarea, blogs and blog posts have a<br />

relationship similar to folders and content. The blog is the<br />

equivalent of a folder, and blog posts are the equivalent of content<br />

items. While blogs and blog posts have a few unique properties,<br />

they mostly work the same as folders and content.<br />

On your Web site, blogs are arranged so the latest post appears at<br />

the top. This differs from paper diaries, because you are reading<br />

the newest material first, instead of the oldest. Because blogs are<br />

laid out this way, site visitors can quickly find the most recent<br />

entries.<br />

Blogs are made up of multiple elements. These elements allow site<br />

visitors to view or create a blog post, add comments, and see a roll<br />

call of associated blogs. In addition, if a blog calendar is present on<br />

the blog site, visitors can see which days have blog posts.<br />
