Adding a weblog
Up one level
A ‘weblog’ or ‘blog’ is a kind of online journal. Rather than creating many short individual files, a weblog can contain them all in one file. Images, links, text and many other types of content can be stored in your weblog.
To create a weblog, click on the add item menu on the Plone bar and choose weblog.
Enter a title for
your weblog and a brief description of what it is about. This text will be displayed at the top of the
page before any weblog entries.
Click the save button to create your weblog. By default your weblog is created with one topic called General. Topics can be used to organize your content into different categories. Otherwise your entries will be listed under General. You must have at least one topic in your weblog in order for it to work.
To create an entry in your weblog, click on the link for your weblog, and choose weblog entry from the add item menu on the Plone bar.

Info about
Trackbacks
Trackbacks allow sites to communicate with each other about related
resources. For example, if blogger1
wants to notify blogger2 that he’s written something noteworthy, he would send
a trackback ping to blogger2.
