Creating a Blog Post
This section includes instructions for Creating a Blog Post. The next section covers Setting the Page Properties.
1. Navigate to the Blog section of your AEM site: In the WCM, expand your AEM site by clicking on the [+] icon. Locate your site's Blog page and select it by clicking on it in the left pane.
2. Create the page: With the Blog page selected in the left pane, choose New... in the right pane to create a new page.
Title the page: Enter the title of the new blog post in the Title field.
Name the page: Enter a url in the Name field 鈥� it can match the Title. Separate words with hyphens (-) eg: osx-lion-shortcut-keys. Note that Google likes descriptive page names so use keywords that reflect the blog post.
Select the "Blog Page (new CLF)" template from the list of available templates.
Click Create once you have finished. The blog post will now appear in the WCM.
