Posting a First Entry

To create an entry, select the weblog you created (Test Weblog) in the weblog hierarchy.

Next, right-click the weblog and select New Entry… from the context menu.

Note: Alternatively you can click the New Entry button on the toolbar.

The Entry Editor appears

Fill out the entry as follows…

In the Title field enter "A First Entry. "
In the category area check the category " Miscellaneous"
In the "Edit" area enter the text…
This is my first entry in Thingamablog
This is a new paragraph


Note: The entry editor allows you to format your entry in rich text. To view or edit the HTML source, click the "Edit (html)" tab.

After filling out the entry, click the Post button to post the entry to the weblog and dismiss the Entry Editor.

Now that the entry has been posted to the weblog, we can view it from within Thingamablog. To do so, expand the weblog (Test Weblog) in the weblog hierarchy and click the Current node. The entry now appears in the table. Clicking on the entry in the table shows the entry in the viewer below.

Since we categorized the entry under Miscellaneous, the entry should also show up in the Miscellaneous category. Expand the Categories node of the weblog hierarchy and click Miscellaneous. The entry now appears in the table.

If you repeat this process for the Archives node the entry will appear in the current archive as well.
