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).:
- Decide on a name for your Blog (i.e., how do you want your personal Blog listed in Bloggers Corner).
- 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 - 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. - 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.
- 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.- 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.
- 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)
- 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.- You can also provide a link to a blog not hosted on sasCommunity.com using this technique.
