BlogPost Server Control
The BlogPost server control displays an individual blog post on a page. There are two ways that this control displays a blog post.
If a user is logged in as a Ektron CMS400.NET user or a Membership user, the control displays the blog post, comments, and comments from the Web page.
If a user is not logged in, the control displays only the blog post.
Note: The Enable Comments property in the Workarea must be enabled for comments and the comments form to appear.

The following table explains the BlogPost control's properties.
Note: The following table only lists Ektron-specific properties. It does not describe native .NET properties such as font, height, width and border style. For documentation of these properties, see Visual Studio help.
