Quickpost

Once signed in, registered users can use a Quickpost form to post blog entries to a Motion blog.

With the Quick Post form, users signed in to a Motion blog can easily post many types of entries - text, links, audio, embedded objects, and more.

If you’ve signed in as a registered user but don’t see the Quickpost form, your site administrator placed posting restrictions in registered users’ permissions.


To change the type of post, click the post type icon on the upper right side of the Quickpost form. When you change the post type, the form will automatically change to match the new post type.

Also, if you’d like to add a tag to your post, click the “+ Other Options” link on the lower right hand side of the Quickpost form.  A new form will appear with places to enter tags.

Post Types
