The first blog entry appears, with the current date. Double-click the placeholder text to
create your own title and body text.

When you add a page using one of the blog templates (Blog or Podcast), three icons
appear in the site organizer:

 Blog is the page that your website visitors see. It contains excerpts (the opening text)

from your most recent blog entries. You determine how much of each entry appears;
visitors can click “Read more” to see the whole entry. By default, the five most recent
entries appear on this page (you can change the number in the Blog & Podcast
Inspector); all your entries, however, are available to visitors in the archive.

Customize the main page by replacing the placeholder text and graphic. You can edit
your overall blog title and description on this page, but you can’t edit blog entries
here (you do that on the Entries page).

 Entries is where you create and manage your blog entries. Your website visitors won’t

see this page, but if they click an excerpt on the main blog page, they’ll see the full
entry.

 Archive contains all your entries, including those that don’t appear on the main

page. The blog templates include a link to the archive on the main blog page.

All of your entries
are listed here.
Click an entry to
display it below.

Create your current
blog entry here, or
edit a previous entry.

Type your entry
title here.

Drag an image, audio
file, or movie to this
media placeholder.

You write and edit your
entries by clicking Entries.
The archive contains
entries that don’t appear
on the main page.

This page is the one your

website visitors see. It

displays excerpts of your

most recent blog entries
and a link to the archive.
