The new SharePoint 3.0 has a ton of great new tools on board, among which is the ability to create a blog. We use this internally as a knowledge management resource to store articles or websites of reference, mainly so that when one team member has found a solution to a challenge, or an innovative new technique, it is preserved for the rest of the team to be able to access quickly.

Anyway, if you are using this new technique, here’s a handy three-step cheat sheet on how to post to your SharePoint 3.0 blog:

One - Copy the Text

1. 1. From the article you want to save, copy the full text of the article, including the title.
2. 2. Open your Internet Explorer and go to Knowledge Management (on the SharePoint site).

Two - Create the post

1. 1. On the top right of the homepage is a set of Admin Links for the blog. Click “Create a post.”
2. 2. In the form, paste the article in the Body field.
3. 3. Add your own title in the Title field, or just copy the title from the article.

Three - Publish the post

1. 1. Select the category you want for your post.
2. 2. Click “Publish.”
3. 3. Your post should now appear on the homepage.

To edit a post

1. 1. Click on the title of the post.
2. 2. Click Edit.
3. 3. After finishing your changes, click “Publish.”
