Image:Configuring blogs using the IBM Lotus Notes blog template

If you have the admin, webadmin, or webcompose role for a blog application, you can configure your blog by using Advanced views.

When you created your blog, a Configuration document was created for the blog, and a User Profile was created for you. These documents are populated with information you provided in the Site Setup document. You can edit these documents to provide more information. You can also create User Profile documents for other users who can create posts for the blog.
How can I set up links in a blog?
Use Link documents to provide the URL and text for links you want to include in your blog.

How can I set up link categories in a blog?
You can create categories for a links, so that they are organized by category in the same way content is categorized. Then, when blog readers browse the Web site for content on a particular topic, they can browse the links too.

How can I create content categories in a blog?
In addition to creating a tag when you create a post, you can use Content categories for tagging content (posts) unless your site structure does not match the way you want to tag your content. You can specify an unlimited number of tags for each content document.

How can I refresh document security in a blog?
Content documents get their security settings from the category to which they are assigned. If you make any changes to how security is set up for a category, you must refresh the document security for any documents assigned to that category to apply the new settings.

How can I create blog user profiles?
You can create a user profile for anyone who will post content in the blog application.

How can I create security groups for blog documents?
Security groups apply specific security settings to a category. You use security groups to secure categories of documents. When you create a security group for a category, any document in that category inherits the security settings for that category security group.

How can I create a web client that can be used to administer my blog?
The blog template includes a default Web browser client that you can use to administer your blog from Microsoft® Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, or you can create your own Web client.

How can I update the information in my blog configuration document?
A Configuration document was created for you when you created your blog, populated with the information you provided in the Site Setup document.

How can I delete blog configuration documents?
When you delete a Configuration document, you can delete the associated User Profile and Location documents as well.

How can I set up blog site services, templates and statistics?
The blog template (dominoblog.ntf) includes wizards to help you set up and manage your blog.

How can I provide meaningful names for blog posts and comments?
By default, a system generated name that contains a combination of numbers and letters is created for your content document, but you can give your posts and comments a more meaningful name.

How can I view information for the agents used to manage my blog information?
You can verify the agents used to manage information in your blog.

How can I manage records for banned IP addresses?
When you ban input from an IP address, you also create an IP Record. You can then use the IP Record if you wish to remove the ban from an IP address later.

IBM Lotus Domino RPC Operation Denial of Service Vulnerability. 8.5.2

John Willemse  January 28 2012 12:32:00 PM
According to the IBM page about this: "If an attacker can monitor and record all communications between a Notes client and a Domino server then it is possible to crash the Domino server by modifying a specific packet, in a specific way, during a specific operation.", so a relatively low threat. Upgrade to 8.5.3 if you can, if not (because of the server changes in 8.5.3) upgrade to 8.5.2 FP4.
