I installed the blog package a few months ago and played around with it. I had to reformat my harddrive and lost some work d'oh! - I do remember being able to create a new blog post based on the logged in user with a click off the Content page in Umbraco. Does anyone know how to install this?

thanks in advance.

Al,

Check in the metaBlogConfig file in the config directory the user account has been set to use the blog.

its the name field you want

Code:

<metablogapi>
  <channel>
    <name>Blog</name>
    <user>0</user>
    <startNode>1526</startNode>
    <fullTree>True</fullTree>
    <documentTypeAlias>umbracoBlogPost</documentTypeAlias>
    <fields>
      <categories>tags</categories>
      <description>bodyText</description>
      <excerpt>
      </excerpt>
    </fields>
    <mediaObjectSupport enabled="True" folderId="1710" mediaTypeAlias="image" mediaTypeFileProperty="umbracoFile" />
  </channel>
</metablogapi>

Level 2 certified. If it aint broke dont fix.
