Add Your Blog

From sasCommunity

Adding your Blog to Bloggers Corner is easy. Just follow these steps (yea, we know, they look complicated - but they aren't and you only have to do it once).:

1. Decide on a name for your Blog (i.e., how do you want your personal Blog listed in Bloggers Corner).
2. Then create the page/article for the name in step 1.
   Hint: Right click on the link and select Open in New Window so these instructions remain available to you.
   Warning: You need to create a page separate and distinct from your blog (i.e., don't try these instructions in a blog entry) to register your blog in Bloggers Corner. If you make the changes described here to a blog entry, only that entry will appear in Bloggers Corner
3. To have your Blog listed in Bloggers Corner just make sure to include the following tag at the end of your article:

   [[Category:Bloggers Corner]]

   You can just cut-and-paste the text into your article.
4. Make sure to add any other Category tags that make sense based on what you expect to Blog about, e.g., if you expect to mostly Blog about the SAS 9 BI Architecture, add [[Category:SAS9_BI/EBI]] to the article you created in step 2.
5. If you want to have visitors go directly to your blog when they clicked on it in Bloggers Corner, include this command:

   #REDIRECT [[Special:ListSubBlogs/User:YOURUSERNAME]]

   making sure to substitute your user name for YOURUSERNAME.
   1. Tip: If you use this technique to automatically go to your Blog from the link in Bloggers Corner you need to use a special url to go back and edit it (e.g., to add or remove category tags)

      http://www.sascommunity.org/mwiki/index.php?title=THE-PAGENAME-CREATED-IN-STEP2&redirect=no

      . You might want to save this URL as a favorite if you expect to add/remove categories on a regular basis.
6. Or, if you want to use the page to talk about what your blog is about, do that on the page and then add a link to your blog, e.g.,

   [[Special:ListSubBlogs/User:YOURUSERNAME|go to my blog now]]

   making sure to substitute your user name for YOURUSERNAME.
   1. You can also provide a link to a blog not hosted on sasCommunity.com using this technique.
