Hi there,

What is the module people usually use to control the Blogs inside the page? I mean, I just want to be able to change the name of the blog and delete them, but apparently the blog module that comes with the core doesn't allow me to do that.

Thanks

Hi, I believe the default blog page is www.example.com/blog and can be accessed from the menus Site Building/Pages. It will be grayed out, but you can enable the page so that you can change the name of the blog page. But you have to disable it when you are done so that Blog posts can automatically appear on this page.

There is no page link under Site Building. Is this link provided by some other module?

Go to yourdomain.com/admin/build/menu

Pick the navigation menu

Enable the listing for blogs. Save the page.

Edit the menu item for blogs, changing it to the name you want.

Un-enable the listing for blogs. Save the page.

You should now have a different name for your blog page.

I appreciate you help, but that doesn't change the Blog's name it just changes the menu link name.
I really don't like how the management of blogs was implemented in Drupal,I mean... to which blog do your blog entries go after you create them?
I have a blog that I did sometime in the past (that I don't remember how), and now I can't get to change its name!
Does anybody have other ideia?

I just want to change the name of my blog, that's all

Are you trying to change the "Title" of the blog that appears on the blog page and that appears in the menu? Or are you trying to change the url of the blog?

If you're trying to find the url, I think all blog posts appear on the page www.yoursite.com/blog. For a specific user's posts, www.yoursite.com/blogs/[user-raw] ([user-raw] is "User's unfiltered name" found under Admin>User Management).

If you are using the Pathauto Module, you can set the path of the blogs. Go to Admin>Site Building>Url Aliases>Automated Alias Settings (or www.yoursite.com/admin/build/path/pathauto).

Also, you can find your individual blog entries by going to Admin>Content Management>Content, in the "Type" pull down menu go to "Blog Entry" then hit the Filter button. Will bring up all of the blog posts. (You should be able to search your site using a specific blog title to find where it appears on the site.)

btw, I use Panels module which may be why I have Admin>Site Building>Pages.

I've enabled the Blog Menu Item under Site Building>Menus>Navigation. Then the blog link appeared under the navigation menu. In this navigation menu under the blog link I have two options blogs and my_blog . If I click on my_blog a page is opened but the name (or perhaps you guys call this title) on the left upper side is not my_blog is another thing. I would like to change this title.
The edit menu under Site Building>Menus>Navigation just changes the link name my_blog it doesn't change the title. What is weird is that all the other modules (like book, forum) have an edit link right beside the respective module title, the blog module doesn't.
Got it?
