This guide explains how to add and configure a blog module on your site created with Site Creator Infomaniak.

Preamble

• There is no feature that allows the management of multiple users in the Blog section (or in Site Creator).
• Several users of the same Organization with access to Site Creator (via their web hosting access authorization) will be able to publish on the blog, but the author's identity will remain the same for all.
• It is possible to get help from artificial intelligence as is the case on the rest of the Site Creator pages.
  • Be aware of this other guide regarding the model used by the writing assistant and the responsibilities of each.
