Thank you for installing Live Blog.
Let’s spend few minutes configuring your new blog:
- Permissions
![](/DesktopModules/LiveBlog/Resources/Images/AuthorPermissionDNN6.png)
Grant the “Authors” permission to those who can write a new post and manage their own blog through the Live Blog module.
Grant the “Remote Access” permission to those authors who can write a new post remotely using Live Writer or other such software client.
Note: “Remote Access” requires that user is an “Author”. “Remote Access” permission does not add any value on its own.
- Settings
Begin by specifying the blog name, description, theme and its features.

If you prefer to use Live Blog’s built-in comments then you may want to specify whether the comments should be moderated, after how long should the comments automatically close, and other settings via Settings > Comments

We strongly recommend using Disqus Comments due to its social networking features instead of built-in Live Blog’s comments. If you would like to use disqus then simply create an account at http://www.disqus.com and setup your site’s shortname.
In Settings > Comments, switch to Disqus and provide your site’s shortname.

You can return to disqus.com to learn more and to manage your blog’s comments.
That's it! It’s time to write your first blog. From dashboard, click on “Write New Post”
