Our webhosting allows us to have individual personalized blogs for folks. There’s a link to that section on the front page of the site, to the left, right under the link to the forum. Clicking that button will bring you to the NA-Recovery.org BlogAdmin page, which has a step by step walkthrough on how to set up your own blog page. Here’s the steps to do that:
To set up a blog, the steps are fairly simple.
1. Click the link that says "Log In." This will take you to a screen where you can either enter a username and password, or register.
2. Click Register.
3. Enter your "Login" name. This will be the name you use to log into your blog. It will also be part of the address for your blog.
Example: Login: Addict1 becomes:
https://na-recovery.org/blogs/u/Addict14. Enter your email address, password, and the name you would like your blog to have.
5. Submit your registration. This will send you an email with a link to validate your email address.
6. Check your email, and click the link. This will bring you to a screen, with an explanation of where to find your blog, and should also log you in. Up at the top of the screen is a header, with links for "Dashboard," "See," "Write," etc.
7. To customize your blog, click on "Customize, and select your preferences, including a skin (what your blog looks like) and what you would like displayed.
8. Click "Write" and start writing!
To view a friend’s blog:
Log in with your name and password.
When you see the journal page come up, click "Dashboard" up at the top of the page. This will bring you to a screen that shows a list of options.
Click on the word "Global" on the far left. This will show you a list of members with journal pages. Click the url (ie.
https://na-recovery.org/blogs/u/addict), and it will bring you to their journal.
As always, feel free to leave a message here, or to send me a PM or hit me up in the chat room if you need help with any of these steps, I’ll do my best to walk you through.
