Typepad Posting HowTo

Follow the steps below to create a post on any of K-State Libraries' blogs.

1. Already an author for the blog to which you want to post? Skip to step 4.
2. Email Donna to request an invitation for the blog.  You need a separate invitation for each blog.
3. You will receive an invitation from "KSUL Blog Administrator".  Refer to the Typepad help page for accepting an author invitation if you have any trouble.
4. Log in to Typepad with your Typepad user id and password. 
5. You'll see all the blogs for which you have author rights in a box in the top right corner of the page.  Click "POST" next to the blog to which you'd like to post.
6. On the posting screen, type a short title in the Title box.
7. Choose a Category from the dropdown box.
8. Type your post in the Post Body area.  You can use the toolbar above to add formatting, just like you would in an Office application.
9. You can add images or documents to your post using the icons near the end of the toolbar.
10. Spell-check your post using the last button on the toolbar.
11. Check Posting Status and Comments dropdowns; for most posts the default settings (Publish Now and Open) are what you want.
    
12. Click Preview if you'd like to get a rough idea of how your post will appear, or Save to add your post to the blog immediately.
13. If you'd like to post again to the same blog, click New Post and go back to step 6.
14. If you're done, click Logout at the top of the page.
