Setting up a self-owned blog is perhaps the most popularly cherished desire these days. And why not? It is easy, gives you the feeling of being an owner, gives you an opportunity to make money and best of them all, it gives you a chance to put all your thoughts and ideas in one place and show them to the world.<\/p>\n

Believe me, owning a blog is sometimes as precious as owning a physical property like a house or a car. It is sometimes easier too. So what does it take to setup a blog? This article is a guide to setting up a blog with the latest SharePoint 2010.<\/p>\n

What Is SharePoint 2010?<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

SharePoint 2010 is a blog site template that has all it takes to accomplish company projects, publish news and updates and share knowledge of various ideas in your niche. Blog sites are defined by the way they are presented, the niche they deal with and so many other aspects. SharePoint sites include many details like information about the author, the purpose of their description and many more. There are additional tools for filtering posts by articles, bookmarks, calendar month or even sharing links and subscribing to blogs using RSS clients.<\/p>\n

Prior to creating a new site in SharePoint, you would be choosing your blog template. Creating a new personal blog site from SharePoint is different from creating blogs for your organization. In the latter you would be able to associate profile and personal settings with your niche. Using SharePoint Standard or Enterprise edition or enabling the Personal Sites feature can let you adjust your blog settings with more customizations.<\/p>\n

The Steps<\/em><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Choose the personal navigation menu from a common SharePoint site.\n<\/li>\n
  2. Choose My Profile\n<\/li>\n
  3. Choose Content tab<\/li>\n
  4. Choose the \u2018Create Blog\u2019 link to create an independent blog site.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note : If the Create Blog hyperlink is not present in the content tab of the profile page, it means that the setup may not be allowing personal blogging sites. Check with your organization\u2019s SharePoint Admin or HR department for more details on company\u2019s policies with regards to blogging.<\/p>\n
