For some reason my blogs (Welcome) News are not appearing on my home page. They did but I must have done something to prevent this, They only appear for Admin. I enabled to show for all users including logged out, but do not show. Also when creating a menu item say Blog how do you add to this (Articles and News) so that they appear in the drop down menu?

I think your skin might be looking to only display blogs from the admin user with a specific category, so if you changed those, that might be reason they are not showing.
I tried to log into your site but the un/pw I have no longer works. Ticket us with the site and a working master login and I'll take a look.
Thanks

Check out the skins notes for your ProJam skin

http://songblitz.com/skins/jrProJam/readme.html

That has instructions on setting up the news/articles and blogs.

Hope this helps!

Update a blog and there is a category field where you can edit the category the blog is part of.

Paul, I was looking for them somewhere else. I already updated and made sure the category was correct but still not displaying?

I have sent you master login if you would be so kind to look for me.

Where are you looking at the blogs, and what blogs are you expecting to see there?

Home Page = Latest News etc
They appear when Admin is logged in but should dispay for all users even when not logged in

These are blogs created by profile 'admin' and that profile has its privacy set to 'private', hence no one else can see any of admin's content.
Change the privacy setting to 'global' and all (including non logged in visitors) will be able to the the blogs.
