A weblog is simply a collection of entries, templates, and everything else you see on the weblog Editing Menu.</p> <p>You can create a new weblog (if you have weblog-creation privileges, that is) by logging in to Movable Type, then clicking <code>Create New Weblog</code>. Fill in the configuration information, then press <code>SAVE</code>; you will automatically be assigned full permissions for this new weblog.</p> <p>You can edit the configuration of an existing weblog by logging in to Movable Type, selecting the weblog you wish to configure from <i>Your existing weblogs</i>, then clicking <i>Weblog Config</i>.</p> <p> <h2><a name="creating a new weblog"></a>Creating a New Weblog</h2> <p>When creating a new weblog, you will need to perform the following steps:</p> <ol> <li> Create the directory where your weblog will be stored. If you wish to store your archive files in a directory other than your main weblog directory, create a directory to hold your archives, as well. Set the permissions (CHMOD) of both directories to 777 (unless you are running Movable Type under <i>cgiwrap</i> or <i>suexec</i>). <p></p> <li> In the <code>Main Menu</code>, click <code>Create New Weblog</code>; then configure the required settings in the weblog creation screen--name your weblog, set up the paths and URLs, and select a timezone for the weblog. When you are done with your weblog configuration, press <code>SAVE</code>. <p></p> <li> By default your weblog will be created with a complete set of working templates; you can customize these now in the <code>List & Edit Templates</code> screen, if you'd like. <p></p> <li> Test your weblog by creating an entry, then commenting on it. You can also rebuild all of your files to test out the rebuild features. <p></p> <li> Tell everyone about your new weblog! <p></p></ol> <hr size="1" color="#CCCCCC"> <span class="copyright">Copyright © 2001-2004 Six Apart.
