A weblog is a format for displaying pages in a particular category.  The text of the most recently changed pages is shown at the top of the screen, so you can easily see what's new.  

> *Create a weblog.* Select *"Settings"*, then *"Weblogs" / "Create New Weblog"*.  The name of a weblog must have the word "blog" or "weblog" in it.

> *Switch to a weblog.* Click on *"Weblogs"* in the top menu.  The weblog you last viewed will be shown.  To view a different weblog, select one from the drop down box.

> *Add a weblog entry*. Select *"Weblogs",* then pick the weblog you want to contribute to, and then click on *"New Blog Post"*.  This will add an entirely new entry at the top of the weblog.  If you want to add an existing page to a weblog, edit that page and add it to the *weblog category* (_see Categories below_) in which you want it to appear.

> *Weblog navigation*. The Weblog navigation sidebar is a notice board that lives in the top righthand corner of your weblog. You can use this to leave messages for your readers -- describing the purpose of your weblog, providing links to other relevant weblogs, or displaying a message of the month. To edit it, click on the sidebar to expand it and then click on the *edit* link.

> *Linking to a weblog.*
>> _From *this* workspace_ use {{ {weblog: weblogname} }}
>> _From *another* workspace_ use {{ {weblog: workspacename; weblogname} }}

> *Linking to a weblog entry.* Every weblog entry has its own link. Look at the bottom of the post, click on *permalink* and then copy the address from your browser.
