My First Blog using MacJournal

MacHeist is up to their same tricks and have just released a new bundle. Inside that bundle is a product called MacJournal that has tempted me.

So, I have downloaded a 15 day trial and started to play with it. The first thing I wanted to do was make sure that I could use it for my blogging.

Here are the highlights, if you don’t want to deal with a 22 minute video <grin>

At the address “admin/build/modules," in the Admin section, set on Blog API (in core optional).

At “admin/user/permissions” set “Administer content with blog api” for the roles you want to have this access. You will also want to set “Administer node”.

At “admin/settings/blogapi” enable the content type(s) that you want to be able to post to. This would be at least ‘blog’. But you can use others.

Optional Steps:

If you want to allow for images in your blog, then at “admin/settings/filters/list” make sure the <img> tag is allowed for your role.

I found this step to be optional, and in my case, unnecessary. Install Content Access found at http://drupal.org/project/content_access

admin/content/node-settings If you are still having problems with all the permissions, you “May” need to rebuild permissions here.
