The following lesson deals with logging into a blog on the SSIS blogging system.

Locate the Meta Area of your Blog

The meta area is a blog widget and is usually on one of the blog sidebars. Each theme can have a different location for where you will find the this area. On the Scratch blog (blog.ssis.edu.vn/scratch) the meta area is located on the bottom footer area. In this widget the area you will use the most is the Log In link and when you click on this link you will be taken to the login screen.

If The Meta Widget is Not Visible

Although most themes display the Meta widget there are some that do not. Widgets can be added and taken away from a blog and we will look at how this works in a future lesson. If your theme does not contain a Meta widget then you can get to the login page by going to the following url http://blog.ssis.edu.vn/name_of_your_blog/wp-admin. So for our Scratch blog we would go to http://blog.ssis.edu.vn/scratch/wp-admin. This will take you to a login screen where you can add your username and password.
