Setting blog default preferences
Use
the Blog Defaults option of the Preferences dialog box to set blog
default options. You can select the default blog server in which
Contribute creates a blog entry, whether clicking the New button
creates a new blog entry, and whether comments and trackbacks are
allowed by default for blog entries.
Select the options you want to set:
Select
the blog in which you want Contribute to create a blog entry from the
Default Blog pop-up menu.
Contribute creates a blog entry
in the blog you select when you click the New Entry button as well
as when you post to the blog from a Microsoft Office document or
from a browser such as Internet Explorer (Windows) or Firefox. Contribute
also creates a blog entry in this blog if you select the Create
a new blog entry when the “New” button is clicked preference option,
which is described in this section. Finally, Contribute creates
a blog entry in this blog when you quote information from a website
or blog entry you are currently viewing.
For more information
on creating a blog entry from a quoted selection, see Create a blog entry based on a quoted selection.
All blogs to which you
have a Contribute connection are listed. When a user doesn’t specify
a blog in which to create a blog, the first blog is listed in the pop-up
menu by default.
Select or clear Create A New Blog Entry when the “New” button
is clicked.
When this option is enabled, the name of the New
button changes to New Entry. Contribute creates a new blog entry
in the blog you selected from the Default Blog pop-up menu, which
is described in this section.
If you don’t enable this option,
clicking the New button opens the New Web Page Or Blog Entry dialog
box.
Select
or deselect Allow Comments.
When this option is enabled, Contribute
allows the blog server to accept comments for blog entries.
This
option is enabled by default when you create a blog entry. You can disable
it before posting the blog entry.
Some blogs do not support
comments. For more information, see your blog documentation.
In
the Contribute browser, you can select Format > Blog Metadata
> Allow Comment or click the Allow Comments button in the toolbar
to allow comments. For more information about allowing comments,
see Allow comments for blog entries. The Allow Comments button is highlighted when
selected and dimmed when it is not selected.
Select or deselect Allow Trackbacks.
When
this option is enabled, Contribute notifies the blog server to allow other
users to link to a blog entry using its trackback URL. A trackback
URL is associated with the posted blog entry, which can be used
to track other posts that refer to the entry. Other blog authors
use the trackback URL when they add a reference to the blog entry.
The blog server maintains a list of links to blogs that reference
a blog entry’s trackback URL. Users can click the links to go to
these blogs.
In the Contribute browser, you can select Format
> Blog Metadata > Allow Trackback or click the Allow Trackback
button in the toolbar to enable trackbacks. The Allow Trackback
button is highlighted when selected and dimmed when it is not selected.
To
insert a trackback URL, select Insert > Trackback URL or click
the Insert Trackback button on the Contribute toolbar, and then
paste the trackback URL of the original post to be tracked.
Some
blogs do not support the trackback feature or require you to set
a preference to allow it. For more information, see your blog documentation.
Click OK.
