<p>The Blog module is used to add blog stories or news articles.</p>

<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: If your blog or news page has thumbnail images for each entry, you must add those images through the Gallery module. Add those images to the appropriate gallery BEFORE you add an entry here.</p>

<p><strong>Title</strong></p>

<p>This is the title for your blog. Make it fun or eye catching to encourage people to read more.</p>

<p><strong>Description</strong></p>

<p>Some blogs have a short description on the main blog page. It may be entered here. Check blogs already entered to see if you need to add a description.</p>

<p><strong>Text Area</strong></p>

<p>The CK Editor text box is used to add the body of the text for the blog. All text needs to be entered free of formatting, so if you are copying and pasting from another document, paste it into the text editor on your computer (ex. Notepad) to clear all formatting. Then copy and paste into the area here.</p>

<p>For more instructions on using the CK Editor, see the Help section in the Pages module.</p>

<p><strong>Post Time &amp; Date</strong></p>

<p>You can change the order of your blog entries by changing the time and date at which they were posted.</p>

<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: This is not a post delay feature. If the post is set to active, it will post on the website, even if you set it for a later date.</p>

<p><strong>Gallery &amp; Image From Gallery</strong></p>

<p>If your blog includes thumbnail or banner images, you can select that image from the gallery using the dropdown menus. Usually, the gallery you want is named Blog Gallery.</p>

<p>If you are ready to display the post on the website, set Active to Yes and Save Changes!</p>
