Added a blog button!

Post by Zap! »

Please someone post something, even if it's old. I need to see if I configured it correctly. :)

Lets see, is it something that you can only view if you have an RSS feed going? Or is something not showing up in Opera again? Because it says that this is an example of a page of some sort; is there supposed to be an entry example right underneath that? Again, I can post a screenshot if need be.

Other than that, I don't see an option where I'm supposed to post or whatever, unless I'm just missing something (which could very possibly be the case)....

I have to figure out a way to change the example text. Can you see my blogs I posted? There are two of them. I think you will have the opportunity to post one of your own if you register.

Obviously you did it since the page looks totally different, but I can see it now :)

Yep!

I think I can do it without registering, but I'm not sure yet. I'll try to post something later.

I approved of your comment to my blog (trying to make it so your comments are posted automatically). Did you have to register to post? Something still doesn't look right. Nowhere to I see any "post blog" link there. Maybe it's supposed to look like this. I posed a topic on Word Press, will get back to you.

No, I think you were right the first time, you have to have an account to post a blog, all I could find on there was the 'comment' button, that seems to be it.

Actually, on the Word Press forums they said this is how it's supposed to look. You can post a blog if you register. All comments and new blogs are subject to approval due to potential spammers.

The blog had been inactive since at least 2015. Finally updated it last night and added the link at the top of the page. To my surprise, I was able to save everything. Still have only two blogs up, but that should change soon.

The blogs sure looked ugly, with no background, no paragraphs, and some ugly text that was too hard to read (cyan on a bright background, yikes!). That's all fixed now.
