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.
