Do I have to display my e-mail address with every blog posting?

No, you don’t have to display your e-mail, you can set Edicy to display your name instead. To do this go to "People" page ("Site" → "People") and change your user name as you want it to appear in your blog posts.

Can I set my blog as my homepage?

You can't do this yourself. If you need to do this, please get in touch with us support@edicy.com.

How can I add a new blog page?

To add a new blog add a new page and select its layout type as "Blog & News". Edicy will automatically treat this page as blog and allow you to add entries and comments to it.

There is no "add" button in blog bar. What I should to do?

If you see the message "You have currently no posts. Start by adding some," click on it to add the first post.
If you see only the message "You have currently no posts" then there isn't a blog page in the current language of your site. You have to add a new blog page before you can add your first blog post.

How do I find out the RSS address of my blog/news page?

Add ".rss" to the end of your blog page's address and you will get the address of the RSS feed for that blog (eg. myname.edicypages.com/blog.rss).

How can I change the date of my blog post?

Go to "Settings" → "Page", where you will be able to change it's address, author and date, which will be displayed as the posting date.
