Blog Tip #6 - Hide Welcome Message and Default Tabs

I apologize for the delay, but I got swamped with mid-semester work. In any case, I thought I would add some more tips for customizing the portfolio.

1. Hide Welcome Message
You may have noticed that the front page of the portfolio contains a message about a new design. This is a default entry which has been placed in the "Blog" section of your portfolio.

To hide or change this initial message:

2. Click Manage in the menu, then Entries
3. You will see a link for "New Design...". Click on the link to edit the entry.
4. To delete the entry, check the box and

2. Continue your Blog
To add additional entries to your blog, log in and enter your portfolio, then click the Write Entry. Write and save your entry as needed.

These entries will appear on the right on your portfolio home page. Additional documentation on blogging is available on the Support tab of http://blogs.psu.edu

3. Hide Contact and About Tab
By default, the portfolio comes with a "Contact" tab and an "About" tab. Most portfolios can use these tabs, but if you wish to edit or disable them, do the following.

1. Login and enter your portfolio/blog.
2. Click Manage in the menu, then Pages. You will see the default pages listed.
3. Click the link to edit the page. Change the "Title" field to change the name of the tab.
4. To hide the tab, go to Manage » Pages. Check the box for the page you wish to hide, then select the Unpublish Pages in the "More Options" menu and click the Go button. This will hide the pages, but not delete them.
