Creating Blogs, Wikis, and Podcasts

You can create and share new sites (blogs, wikis, and podcasts) at any time, assuming that your administrator has configured the system to allow you to have access to this functionality.

 

 

Users can add multiple sites of different types to their Expo sites, along with their profiles.

Each site you add shows up in a list on your profile page. Users visiting your profile page will only see the sites that you are sharing. By default, new sites are not shared.

Creating a New Expo Site

Expo allows users to create blogs and wikis that can be shared with specific users or groups. New blogs and wikis can be created from scratch, or they can be created using templates made available to you by your system administrator. You can create a new blog or wiki in Expo LX from scratch or use a template to create a site.

 

 

1. Navigate to your Expo homepage.
2. Select the add new site link in the toolbox area of the sidebar.
3. Enter a Namefor your site in the field.
4. Select the Type to define whether you are creating a wiki, a blog, a podcast, or using a template.
5. Enter a Description for your site in the field.
   
6. If creating a blog or podcast, select the Yes or No option for the RSS feed.
   Note: This option may not be available if RSS is disabled by the administrator.
