How do I activate my account
When you registered for membership in SailBlogs, you were required to use a valid email address. An activation link was sent to this address. This ensures that the person registering for the account actually owns the email address, and prevents account fraud.
Look for the registration email and link in this account. Check your spam box, as sometimes automated messages get tagged as spam. If you still did not receive a registration key, contact support with the contact us form and we'll get you activated.
Add a post to my blog?
The main message widow in the Blog Manager displays a list of the messages currently loaded into the blog, ordered by date with the most recent at the top of the list. If there are more than 15 messages in your blog, links will appear at the bottom of the table to see other pages.
Messages with an attached image will have a symbol between the date and title.
Messages with comments will have a symbol - click the icon to manage the comments.
Messages posted via SailBlogs Remote will have a symbol between the date and title.
Messages can have 4 status values:
- On: the message is active and visible to visitors
- On-Future: The message is dated to appear in the future, and once that date happens the message will be active and visible to visitors. Until the date of the message, the post WILL NOT be visible to visitors.
- Off: Message is not visible to visitors.
- Off-Future: The message is dated to appear in the future, but since the message is off, it will never appear to visitors regardless of the date.
Clicking on either the date or the message title will open that message in the Message Editor window.
Use the Add New Log Entry link to open the Message Editor and add a new entry.
