Hey All,

I've just finished a new section to our Insurance Blogging Blog . . .

http://blogging.ampminsure.org/2008/02/19/insurance-blog-text/

I hope you will take a look and give me some feedback.

Is the material easy to understand? Will it help you with your blog?

I will appreciate your comments. Laughing

Maze

Your "Categories" are there if you "Added" them, but the particular "Category" will not show up on your "Home Page" until you actually add a "Post" to it.

Just a suggestion, write a "Post" for each "Category" using the words "Under Construction" as your "Post". This will allow you to see all catergories on your Home Page.

Ok I found the answer to the themes question. I have read the answer to the categories and will do what you suggested.What about the pub and general category question?

Ok I am confused on the options tab.There is already info in there should I replace it if needed or leave it? Lakemen's addy is in there also.I am still wondering if I leave that or change it to mine. I changed it to mine in the users tab ,was that right or not? Maybe you can use my questions to update your blogging blog .Thanks for the help,I am now doing all the steps so that why all the questions.I hate to move forward without being sure what i am doing is correct.

You will not be able to have an "interactive" Pub section like we do in the forums, because your blog is, of course, not a forum.

With that said, I think a "Insurance Experiences Pub" Category would be an excellent place to have people leave their insurance experience comments.
As far as the "Uncategorized" Category - go to "Manage Categories" in your Admin section, make one of your other categories the "Default" category and "Delete" - Uncategorized.

I don't have the pet insurance.I have Insurance experiences. Anyway i think I see what you mean. I did the under construction thing and after doing that I decided to put "share your insurance experience here" When I went back and did that then it saved it like 2 comments.I can't figure out how to delete the unser construction so it does not say 2 comments under that category.I think I am going to have to stiop and come back for further instructions. Every time I try to edit the category to get the undercinstruction off it just says one more comment.

Sorry but I have completely messed up my blog. Maybe you don't understand I have never did a blog before.The instruction are clear in some areas and I don't get them in other areas. I deleted my topic hello world" Trying to make my categories where it said 2 or 3 comments to say none.I am totally frustrated now.

I have offered to do the initial set up for your blogs, but to do that, I will need to log-in.

Once I am finished, you can change your password.

Just let me know.

If you want me to go in to your blog, send me a PM - Don't publish log-in information in the forum.
