Publishing Settings

The "Publishing" screen of the Wizard asks you to select a Transport Type. In Thingamablog terms, a "Transport" is a method by which the weblog will get published. Currently Thingamablog supports three different Transport Types; FTP, SFTP, and Local.

Most users will probably choose FTP, since that is what the majority of web servers provide.

SFTP is a more secure version of FTP that sends login data encrypted. Your web host must support SFTP in order for you to use it.

The Local transport simply publishes the weblog to a local directory, or a network directory.

The location that all of the transports publish to is the "Base Path" you specified earlier.

Note: Under MS Windows you don’t need to include the drive letter in the Server Path (Although you can). "/" is automatically resolved to the primary drive.

Since we’re creating a local weblog, select the " Local" transport.

After clicking the Next button the Wizard will inform you that you’re done. So click the Finish button. The Weblog should now appear in under the "My Sites" node under the weblog hierarchy.

Now that we've created our weblog, lets post some entries.
