How to Set Up a Blog Display Page with a Blog Widget

You can access this feature from your MSL website. Only Content Editors with access to Website Admin can access the Website Pages window.
Widgets in the Site Widgets section are displayed only to Content Editors with permission to edit pages applied at the root (https://[domainname]/) of your MSL website.


Before proceeding, make sure you have specified the Root Page field on the Edit Blog window.
For further information, see Blog Admin.


To create custom blog display pages for your officers, if they already have profile pages containing lots of content like their social media feeds, their manifesto pledges, news articles and an introduction, for example, at /officer/president/, we recommend their blog display page lives on a different page, for example, /officer-updates/president/ with /officer-updates/ being the root page, and /president/ being the blog name.
Any content added to the blog's display page is shown on all of the blog's pages due to the Include Page Content in Stub Pages page properties setting that needs to be enabled.


Add a Blog List or Recent Blog Posts widget to any page on your MSL website to display the blog. When viewed, the user will be taken to the blog's display page.
For further information, see How to Add a Blog List Widget to a Page and How to Add a Recent Blog Posts Widget to a Page.
