Overview
The HostBaby blog page is simple to use and update. The best part is, your friends and fans will continue to re-visit your site to keep up with the articles and content you post. Your site visitors can read and comment on your entries and subscribe to your updates via an RSS reader. RSS readers are built into most web browsers these days (not IE).

Creating A New Blog Post
From within the Wizard. Click Website and then "Blog"
Then Click Add New
Title your blog entry, write the content and "Publish"
You will notice that you have the ability to "Save As Draft" so you don't have to publish your post until you're ready. You'll notice that all unpublished entries will be marked with a red astrix. If you do make a mistake on a 'published' post you can always go back and re-publish with the changes you made.
Unlike other pages in the Wizard, you do not need to use the global "publish button" to make something live. It will go live as soon as you hit "Publish"
Styling Your Posts
Use the Toggle HTML Editor to style your text and select pictures or videos from your Image Bank and File Bank to add to your blog.
