PROGRAMMING DOMINO FOR WEB APPLICATIONS


Managing blog HTML templates
HTML templates for blogs control how the blog looks and feels. Each template combines HTML with special system tags to display the end result in a browser.

There are four views in the HTML section of the navigation pane:

1. Page templates - determine the appearance of Web page layout.


2. Item templates - control the appearance of content lists.
3. Block templates - are used to simplify HTML template maintenance. If you have a block of HTML code that is used in multiple page templates, you use a block template for that code and then refer to the block template within the page template.
4. Web client template - controls the appearance of the Web editor used for the template. This allows organizations to add their own styles and add or remove features without having to change the underlying template design.

Using the template Web browser client to administer a blog

The blog template includes a Web browser client that is usable from Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.

From the default web site that is used with the blog template, access the web client by clicking Admin at the bottom of the page.
