Add a Blog to an Ektron Website


Creating a Free Blog

Create a free blog at any of the major sites (Weebly, Tumblr or something similar should work). Creating this blog typically entails giving it a name and probably populating it with a few real-life posts.

In the Ektron Website

Select where you’d like the blog to live within your website.  Create an html content block in that location and give it a title and a Page Title (level 1 heading).

    Give the new document your desired title and then send this code to Stateweb so they can embed the blog on the page in the code area (as opposed to the design area):

    <iframe width="100%" height="1200" src="XXXXXXX" frameborder="0"></iframe>

    Within the quotation marks where you see the XXX’s in the paragraph above, paste your blog’s URL. In my case, the code looked like this:

    <iframe width="100%" height="1200" src="http://nvhcqc.weebly.com/" frameborder="0"></iframe>

      The “code area” of the HTML page is accessed by clicking the <> in the bottom left of the text box area.

        Publish the new blog page and when you feel it’s ready to go, email Stateweb to make it live by adding it to the left navigation and your desired location in the top navigation.
