Using the Blogs Module
This section provides an overview of the Blogs module and discusses how to use the Blogs pagelet.
The Blogs module provides a platform that workspace members can use to blog on topics of interest. Members can post blog entries and comments. In addition, members can monitor current entries using the Blogs pagelet on the workspace homepage. The most recently added blogs and comments in the Blogs module are displayed for member access on the Blogs pagelet, which appears by default on the workspace homepage.
The pages used to participate in blogging in the Blogs module are the same pages used for the Blogs feature that is available from the PeopleSoft Interaction Hub homepage. When you click the Blogs link in the workspace menu, you access the blog page, which functions the same way as the blog page functions in the portal. The Blogs feature is documented in the Using Portal Features
See Understanding Blogs.
Access the Blogs pagelet on the workspace homepage.
