Publishing a new blank blog entry

You can publish a new blank blog entry to your blog. You can also publish a blank blog entry with links to other new blank blog entries or web pages. When you publish a new blog entry that has a link to another new blog entry or web page, Contribute publishes the new blog entry, and all blog entries that are linked to the blog entry.

Tip: You can create a link to the blog entry at the same time that you create a blog entry. For more information, see Linking to a new blank blog entry.

To publish a new blog entry:

1. In your draft, click the Publish button in the toolbar.

   Note: Some blogs do not allow images, enclosures, media files, and links to local files in the content. You might not be able to publish such content if the blog you are publishing to does not accept these files. Verify if your blog makes this exception.

   If the blog entry draft links to any new blog entries, the Publish New Linked Blog Entries dialog box appears.

   If the blog entry draft links to any web pages, the Publish New Linked Pages dialog box appears.

2. For each unpublished linked blog entry or web page, do the following:
   • Click the blog entry or the web page to select it.
   • If you selected a web page to link to your blog entry, change the file and folder location if necessary.
   • Click Publish All.

   Contribute publishes the blog entry draft and any new blog entries or web pages that are linked to it, and then displays it in the Contribute browser.
