Movable Type Documentation > Installation

Working With Your Blog

When the installation wizard completes, it connects you to the Movable Type system with the login you created, creates a blog with the name you specified, and adds a standard first blog entry.

Viewing Your Blog

To see your new blog, connect to the following Web address http://domainname/blogname where "domainname" is the domain name for your Web server and "blogname" is the name you specified during the installation. You can make your blog available to the public on the Internet by creating links to this address from other Web sites or generally advertising this address.

Managing Your Blog

When the installation is complete, you are ready to customize and add content to your personal blog.

To manage your blog, connect to the following Web address http://domainname/cgi-bin/mt/mt.cgi where "domainname" is the domain name for your Web server.

For instructions on how to add entries and customize your blog, see the Movable Type Author's Guide.

If you are creating a corporate installation, you can set up additional blogs and users. For instructions, see the Movable Type Administrator's Guide.
