In this chapter we will add the blogging feature to our site. This will handle creating and managing a post. It will also handle sending alerts to your friends' filter page. And finally we will handle creating a friendly URL for your blog posts.

Here we are making our first post to our blog.

Once our post is created, we will then see it on the Blogs homepage and the My Posts section. From here we can edit the post or delete the post. Also, we can click into the post to view what we have seen so far.

The following screenshot shows what one will see when he/she clicks on the post:

I have the blog post set up to show the poster's avatar. This is a feature that you can easily add to or remove. Most of your users want to be able to see who the author is that they are currently reading!

Also, we will add a friendly URL to our blog post's pages.
