1. Working with
Blogs
www.blogspot.com

2. Team Blogs
• Team blogs are quite useful when small groups of
people wish to contribute to a single blog. Basically,
one person initially creates the blog, then adds
other people to it as members.
• Team members can either be administrators or not.
Administrators can edit or delete posts (not just their
own), add and remove team members (and grant
admin access), and modify the blog's settings and
template. Non-admins can only create and edit
their own posts.

3. Blog Administrators
• More videos
• Invited team members accept your invitation, and
are listed as an "Author" by default. Authors can
only create and edit their own posts. You can see a
member's status in the "Permissions" section of the
Settings | Basic tab, and it looks like this:

4. I have lost my admin
rights
• Any other admin member can restore your access
via the Settings | Basics tab in Blogger. If you’ve
been removed from the team entirely, they can
also send you a new invitation to rejoin.
• The last admin member on a team blog can’t be
removed, and can’t have their admin rights
removed. That means there’s always at least one
admin member on any blog, and that person can
help out the other members.

5. Who can post comments on your Blog
Settings – Posts and Comments
If you have set up a team blog, then
select “Only members of this blog”

6. Adding authors to your blog (done by the blog
administrator)
Settings – Basic - Permissions
Select the ‘Add authors”

addresses of the people
you're inviting to the blog,
separating each address
with a comma. They'll
receive an email with a
confirmation link soon.
Note that they must have
Google or gmail accounts,
and if they don't already,
they'll be prompted to
create one.
