Creating a SharePoint Blog

Out of the box in SharePoint there are a number of helpful site templates. In the previous sections, we created a team site and took a brief look at the default page for that site, which provided rich content to solve a specific need. However, there are times when you will need a more specific solution. For example, you might be in the position of needing to create a living document of text and definitions, in which case you would use the Wiki Site template. Or you might be in the position of needing to create a daily log of your thoughts and plans and allow others to comment on those posts, in which case you would use a blog.

In this exercise, you will create a blog site by using the Blog site template.
