Element Description
Blog Workflow
The following table explains the workflow of a blog.
Blogs
Blog Comments A Comments link appears at the end of the blog post. The
link includes a number in parentheses, for example (3).
This number denotes how many comments have been
made. Click this link to move to the comments page, where
you can read comments on the post and possibly enter your
own.
Blog Roll Other blog sites that the blog’s creator wants site visitors to
view.
Blog Subjects Subjects associated with the blog. If you click a subject,
links to all posts associated with the subject appear.
Calendar Indicates when blog posts were made. This lets site visitors
navigate your blog by clicking a day that has blog posts.
Workflow Description See Also
Phase 1 An administrator creates a blog in the
Workarea. During this phase, he assigns
blog subjects, creates a blog roll, and
decides how comments are handled.
Phase 2 A developer adds the blog to a Web form
using the blog server control. He then
publishes the form.
Phase 3 Ektron CMS400.NET users can add
blog posts, either from the Workarea or
the Web site.
Depending on the user’s permissions, the
post is either published immediately or
submitted to the blog’s approval chain.
