Linking to a new blank blog entry

You can create a link to a new blank blog entry on your blog--that is, you can create a link to a new blog entry that Contribute creates at the same time that it creates the link.

Note: The new blank blog entry appears on your blog when you publish the blog entry draft (the blog entry where you want to insert the link) with the link.

To create a link to a new blank blog entry:

1. In your blog entry draft, do one of the following to indicate the link location:
   • Place the insertion point in the draft.
   • Select text in the draft.
   • Select an image in the draft.

   Note: Some blogs do not allow images, enclosures, media files, and links to local files in the content. Verify if your blog makes this exception.

2. Do one of the following to open the Insert Link dialog box:
   • Click the Link button in the toolbar, and select Create New Entry.
   • Select Insert > Link > Create New Entry.
   • Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh), and select Insert Link.

   The Insert Link dialog box appears.

3. Click the Create New Entry button (Windows) or New Entry button (Macintosh) at the top of the dialog box, if it is not already selected.

   The bottom half of the dialog box changes.

4. Complete the dialog box.

   For more information, see Completing the Create New Entry section of the Insert Link dialog box.

5. Click OK.

   Note: Contribute automatically saves the new blog entry in the same folder as the draft that links to it. When you publish your draft (the blog entry where you inserted the link), Contribute also publishes the new blog entry. For more information on publishing blog entries, see Publishing a blog entry to your blog.
