It is a new generation fusion of blog and homepage. People normally maintain their blogs and homepages seperately. The maintainance is quite frustating for them. Bloggage combine both of them into one unit. There are news/blog items and content/menu item on a page. You can post daily events as well as your poems, resume, ideas and many other things.
What are the various features of Bloggage?
How do I register an account?
It is very simple. Just click 'Signup', follow
the instructions and you're done.
What next?
After registering, the first thing you have to do is to select a template
for you bloggage. This is very important. Without it your bloggage wont
run.
What would be the web address for my blog?
It would be something like http://ccc.domaindlx.com/bloggage/what.asp?who=your_account_name
I know it is cryptic, so you'll have to redirect to this address. You
could use www.dot.tk or www.freedomains.co.nr
What is content?
In blogagge 'content' refers to items which you'd probably think of sections
of your homepage. For example content might be My pet, My resume, My poems,
Myself, etc. etc. The possibilites are only limited by your imagination.
What is the 'Name' & 'Rank' fields in the add content facility?
Name refers to a unique name for the content entry. It can only contain
alphabets, numerics and a hyphen. eg MyResume is valid while My Resume
or My_Resume are invalid names. And Rank refers to the relative position
of this particular entry. In the main page the content entries are arranged
in the ascending order. This will get clear once you experiment with the
values.

How do I change the title of my bloggage?

I would like to customise my bloggage?
To customise your bloggage you need to know a little bit of HTML. Read

be much easier. Just goto modify layout of the site, everything would
be self explanatory.
