Web logs (blogs)

You can create your own personal Web logs (blogs) using the HCL Notes® blog template (dominoblog.ntf).

After you create a blog application, you can then open it as you would any other Notes® application (NSF) file. From your blog application, you can create and manage content and blog discussions.

You can use one template to create a number of blogs and maintain consistency across the templates. If there are updates to the template, you can update your template design without losing any of the customization.

Although you can use Notes® to add content to a blog and manage it, you can also add content using a Web browser, and you can manage your blog using a default Web browser client from Microsoft® Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.

You can create and manage a blog application locally on your hard disk drive or on any server. However, for your blog to be accessible to others via the Internet, a signed copy of the NSF file must be on a Web-facing server.
