How do I know if I have a blog?
Currently Connexion doesn't have a way for you to write a blog.
You would need to sign up on a blog site like www.blogger.com, www.wordpress.com, or www.typepad.com.
If you don't have a blog yet, see 'How do I delete a Blog tab' above .

How do I add and modify a Blog page to my profile?
1. Open a new browser window so you can leave these instructions open and follow them.
2. Go to your profile, by clicking PROFILE (top) in a different window or tab
3. Add a Blog tab by clicking the to the right of 'New Tab' and then select 'Blog'.
***If you don't see 'New Tab' you will need to Get Certified.
4. Copy/paste the url to your RSS/Blog into the RSS URL.
5. The RSS/Atom Title will be pulled from the URL automatically. If you want it to be something different, type it there.
6. Click OK.
7. If after the page reloads, you see your blog. You are done!

What do I do if my blog doesn't load? or What do I put into the 'RSS URL' field on your Blog page.

2. Right-click somewhere on the page.
•IE: Select View Source.
•FireFox: Select View Page Source.

3. Search the code for a link that has either 'rss' or 'atom' or 'feeds' in it, and will look something like
<a href="http://www.connexion.org/rss.cfm>Connexion RSS</a>
or
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Someones Blog - Atom" href="http://someone.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default" >
