Answers

  1. What is a weblog?
    A weblog is a publicly accessible website/page for individuals or businesses. Typically, it is updated frequently with articles, pictures and links and reflect the personality of the author. Postings are arranged in reverse chronological order - meaning the most recently added article appears first, followed by the second most recently added article and so on. 


    Unlike traditional websites, weblogs give you the opportunity to connect. Weblogs can be more of a conversation than a monologue. You post content and others can post their responses.

    The possibilities for a weblog are endless! For personal use, consider creating a weblog about your holidays, family celebrations or other special events. Or perhaps a sports forum or a way to keep league teams connected. How about as a place to post and share all of your photos?

    For businesses, weblogs have become ideal for communicating between departments and project teams as well as being a great way to build and maintain customer and media relationships.

  2. What is Blogware?
    Blogware is an exciting and innovative tool for creating weblogs. It is your key to publishing on the World Wide Web - allowing you to easily share pictures, video, links, documents, newsletters, opinions and more with family, friends and colleagues.
     
    Consider thinking of Blogware as:
    • A website management tool
    • A new way to collaborate with your co-workers
    • The scratchpad for your ideas and projects
    • A new way to communicate with customers
    • A photo album that is accessible anytime, anywhere
    • Your online press kit, keeping the world's media in touch with your new products or events
    • The easy way to keep in touch with family and friends
    • Your personal soapbox
    • A journal

  3. Do I have to install anything to use Blogware?

    Not at all! Blogware doesn't require any new software to download or install. There is no HTML to learn either. Plus you can publish online through the web, email or even your mobile phone! All you need is a web browser.

  4. Will everyone on the Internet have access to what I post?
    The choice is up to you. With Blogware, you can easily restrict categories for individuals or specific groups of people. You then assign permission to who you'd like to have access. Readers that do not have permission will see the category but will not be able to get in. An error message will appear advising that the category has restricted privileges.

  5. How do I tell people where to find my weblog?
    The easiest way to tell people how to find your weblog is to give them your URL. With Blogware, you can also add a Subscription option to your weblog. This option is added through the Look and Feel tab located in the navigation bar of your Control Panel.

    Once readers subscribe to your weblog, they will receive email notification whenever an entry or comment is posted - depending on their preference.

    Everything you need to know about creating and using your weblog can be found online : 

  6. Where do I go for support?
