Paul,

Was this blog site easy to set up? We had a meeting of the NSW panel of the Institutuion of Mechanical Engineers and one of the topics was setting up a blog site. I would be interested to know how much is involved in setting ot up? I can imagine the work involved in managing as you have slaved for many years on your labour of love.

I think you have to create an account in order to post. There's a "create content" link on the left side of the page and you can choose to do whatever you want. "Forum Topic" is to create a new discussion.

Once I have a better idea of how all this works and what you need I'll be customizing the options.

create content
Choose the appropriate item from the list:

• book page A book is a collaborative writing effort: users can collaborate writing the pages of the book, positioning the pages in the right order, and reviewing or modifying pages previously written. So when you have some information to share or when you read a page of the book and you didn't like it, or if you think a certain page could have been written better, you can do something about it.
• forum topic A forum is a threaded discussion, enabling users to communicate about a particular topic.
• page If you want to add a static page, like a contact page or an about page, use a page.
• personal blog entry A blog is a regularly updated journal or diary made up of individual posts shown in reversed chronological order. A blog is tightly coupled to the author so each user will have his 'own' blog.
• poll A poll is a multiple-choice question which visitors can vote on.
• story Stories are articles in their simplest form: they have a title, a teaser and a body, but can be extended by other modules. The teaser is part of the body too. Stories may be used as a personal blog or for news articles.
