New member! :: Blog :: Personalizing template posts you have COPied/PASTEd into your blog

May 11, 2008

After you have COPied/PASTEd a template post into your blog, you need to make the following changes to personalize/customize that post to your needs.

  1. Linkages
    1. Change all links in the template to links to posts you have created from those templates.
    2. If there is a Table of Contents in your post, you must edit it after you COPY/PASTE it into your new post by doing the following.
      1. An anchor is the location where one will go when they click on the link for that anchor. Links to anchors are preceeded by a pound sign "#'. Find each occurrence of a link to an anchor and remove all text between "Href=" and "#". For example, here is a partial example of an invalid link to an anchor - <a href="../3585.html#awareness">. Here is what that link should look like - <a href="#awareness">. "../3585 .html" must be removed. If there are multiple "(Top, Bot)" links, change the first one, press UPDATE to save yoru changes, then COPY the "(Top, Bot)" you changed and PASTE it over the remaining (Top, Bot)" links. (We will submit a bug report to the developer of this WYSIWYG code.)
    3. Return to the post that links to the post you are editting and change the link to the template to point to your copy of that template.
    4. Provide a backward link to that calling post
  2. Add your initials and any other tags/keywords to the "Keywords" section.
  3. If your post does not have private information in it, save it with an Access Restriction (AR) of "Public"; if you want another LWPS member to see your post, create a Group Access Restriction (GAR) for them and save your post with that GAR; otherwise use an AR of "Private".

Keywords: 2008, 3Q08, 7/27, 80%, AR, customize, GAR, hph, new, personalize, Personalizing template posts you have COPied/PASTEd into your blog, template
