You must first create a blog: You can do this from here: http://mlpforums.com/blog/manage/

 

If you can't find it under your name at the top and click Manage Blogs.

 

Once you have have made a blog and configured all the settings to your liking, you can go to manage blogs again on Options > Add Entry, then write the entry out.

 

Watch out, the default action is to save an entry as a draft, you must publish it in order to be viewed by others.

 

Entries can also be added from the Blogs page. Just click add entry.

To create one within MLP forums:

 

To blog go into your settings and then click on manage blogs (you can also just click on your profile thing in the top right) then create a new blog in the blogging area .

 

Within the manage blogs screen if you click on your blog you can add a post to it ! The ones made using this method will be only for the forum (I'm not sue how you make outside blogs really).

 

Then just write whatever you want !

I'll provide screen caps along with a text explanation.

 

1. Click on your username in the upper right hand side of any page and click "manage blogs."

 

 

 

2. Click on the "Create a blog" button.

 

 

 

3. Reread and make sure you accept the terms and conditions of blog usage. 

 

 

 

4. Create a blog name and description(optional).

 

 

 

5. Edit any more specific options available if desired, then save.

 

 

 

6. I'm fairly certain you will be brought back to your blogs page, but if not, you can navigate back to it via the same "manage blogs" link used beforehand. Click on "options" in the correct row for the blog you wish to post a new entry in.

 

 

 

7. Type out your new entry's title and body, then save and/or publish. Publishing means everyone will be able to see your blog, while saving it means you can edit it and save it for later, while no one else can view it.
