Technical Information:
If you used the default set-up when installing this script, your blog page is actually your index or main (home) page for this script. If having the blog page in this location is not for you, change the blog page to any URL you want by simply copying the index.php page and re-naming it to what you want.

There is a configuration file for the blog section. It is used to configure the look and feel of the blog section.
The Blog Config File is located here: /EZUser_Support_Files/blog/config_blog.php
(Load this file in a text editor to see the configuration options.)

The HTML output of the individual blog entries are controlled by the “blog template” file. The location of the blog template file is listed in the Blog Config File.

The Default Blog Template File location is: /EZUser_Support_Files/blog/blog_template.php
(Load this file in a text editor to edit the way the blog output looks.)
