Setting Your Reading Options
On the Reading page under the Options menu, you can adjust how many posts are displayed on the main page of your site. You can also adjust the technical features that determine how the information from your site is sent to a reader's Web browser or another application.
- From the Dashboard, click Options.
- On the submenu, click Reading.
- Optionally edit the Front Page settings:
- The latest posts: Select this option if you wish to display your posts in a chronological order, with the latest posts listed at the top of the front page.
- A static page: Select this option if you wish to display the same content on the front page. You can then select from the drop-down list the page that you want to display on the front page. Also, you can select the page that will contain your latest posts. Note that the pages need to be created before they appear on this list.
- Optionally edit the Blog Pages settings:
- Show at most: This option allows you to adjust how many posts are displayed per page on your site. There are two things that you can adjust: the number in the text box and the selection from the dropdown list (days or posts).
- Optionally edit the RSS Feeds settings:
- Show the most recent: Indicates the number of posts people will see when they download one of your site's feeds.
- For each article, show: Determines whether or not the feed will include the full text of each post or a summary, which could save bandwidth.
- Brokers can select to Display Automatic Posts from their agents' websites. This option is only available for Top Producer Websites and Featured Websites.
- Click Update Options to save your changes.
Setting Your Discussion Options
On the Discussion Options page under the Options menu, you can set your administrative options related to comments posted on your site. Check the options you want to use to regulate and control comments:
Email me whenever:
- Anyone posts a comment - When someone posts a comment on your blog, you receive a notification email.
- A comment is held for moderation - When someone posts a comment on your blog that requires your approval, you receive an email advising you to moderate the comment (i.e. approve or delete).
Before a comment appears:
- I must approve the comment - This ensures that no comments appear on your blogsite before you approve their content. This function is useful to prevent "spam" or inappropriate comments being added to your site.
- Comment author must have a previously approved comment - Comments by contributors who have already been approved will be posted to the site automatically. Comments by new contributors will prompt an email for moderation.
