Creating Blogs

How to:

If the collaborative portal feature is enabled in your environment, you can create blogs and include them in your collaborative portals. A blog is an interactive content item that operates as commonly seen blogs on the internet and allows users to post and view comments. Blogs abide by the same security rules that apply to other items in the repository. You can publish, unpublish, hide, and move blogs between domains or folders. You can also share blogs with other users and groups.
