This is a quick guide on how to write your own blog.
Composing
1. Once you log in, the second link on the menu to your right should say "Create Content". Click on it.
2. Click on "Blog entry"
3. Set a suitable title
4. Write your content under the "body" section.
5. Hit "preview" if you want to see how it looks before you submit.
6. Hit "Save". Done! It's been added to your personal archive and the website homepage.
Formating
*Can be used in comments and signatures too*
You may think that just writing in plain text makes it look a bit boring. Don't worry as you are able to format your blog using bbcode. Below is a very basic guide on what you can do. Note, line spaces are automatic.
In all the following examples you will be using tags in between your content. These must be written out exactly or they won't work. Remember to close them.
Bold, Underline, Italics:
[b]content[/b] --> content
[u]content[/u] --> content
[i]content[/i] --> content
Color:
[color=red]content[/color] --> content
Note you have to spell it "color" in the American spelling. You can replace "red" with many different colours or any hexadecimal triplet alternative (go here for some). This is not meant to color the whole body of text though it can be done.
Hence [color=#99CC33]content[/color] --> content
Size:
[size=8]content[/size] --> content
[size=16]content[/size] --> content
Alignment:
[left]content[/left] -->
content (Default setting)
[center]content[/center] -->
content
[right]content[/right] -->
content
Add links:
[url]www.duaxc.co.uk[/url] --> www.duaxc.co.uk
Add images:
[img]http://www.duaxc.co.uk/images/deloitte.gif[/img] --> 
Quote:
[quote]blah, blah, blah[/quote] -->
blah, blah, blah
Line Break:
Hello
[br]
[br]
[br]
Hello
-->
Hello
Hello
There are many other formatting settings that are available but these are the ones I think people will need most.
Remember that these can stack:
[center][b][u][i][color=gold]content[/color][/i][/u][/b][/center]
becomes
content
and
[url]www.google.co.uk[img]http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/images/logo.gif[/img][/url]
becomes
Order does matter when stacking. [url] must precede [img]. This is the case with some others too. In the first example if [u] is placed before [color=gold] then the line actually underlining the word will not be gold. Learn by trial and error!
