Layout+of+a+Blog

=Layout of a Blog= Similar to a wiki, there are many different layout possibilities for a blog. Unlike a wiki however, a blog has 2 distinct views. There is the view that users will normally see, and then there is admin view.

Admin View
The admin view contains all of the tools necessary to add content to your blog, as well as change the look and feel. The main display is called the dashboard.

New Post - Allows you to add a new blog post My Posts - Lets you view and edit previous posts Comments - Shows you all of the comments that other users have made on your blog posts Themes - Allows you to change the visual style of your blog
 * There are several tabs at the top of admin view. Some of the more regularly used ones are: **

There is also an advanced admin view that is meant for more advanced users. Its layout is much more complicated, and is best understood by exploring it. Edublog's help section contains information on this advanced section as well.

Blog View
The blog view is the view that your blog readers will see. When you view your own blog, you will see several options that other users will not see. Things such as "delete post" or "edit post" will not appear to other users.

Another thing to note is that free blogs will always display an advertisement under the top post. This is annoying and takes away prime screen real estate, but the advertisements are school friendly.

This view is fairly customizable and depends entirely on the theme and layout options that you choose when designing your blog.
