Setting Your Home Weblog
How Do I Set My Home Weblog?
Answer
All TypePad accounts allow you to select one of your weblogs as the Default Weblog. The Default Weblog can be accessed from the shorter URL for your account:http://example.typepad.com/
If you only have one weblog created within your account, that weblog is automatically your Default or Home weblog.
With multiple weblogs, you can choose which weblog will be your Home weblog. The first weblog that you create will automatically show at your main URL, and you can change this by going to the Weblogs tab.Home Weblog Icons
A green home icon means that this weblog is your home weblog. Your home weblog can be found at its full address:http://example.typepad.com/name/
and will also display at the main URL of your site:http://example.typepad.com/
A grey home icon means that this weblog is not selected as your home weblog and can be found at its full address:http://example.typepad.com/name/
To make a weblog your home weblog, go to the Weblogs tab and open the "More Actions" menu. Click the "Make this the default weblog" link. A pop-up window will open that will prompt you to confirm the change. After confirmation, the page will refresh with the green icon showing next to your home weblog.
Now when you view your main URL, you will see the weblog you just set as your home weblog.
Additional weblogs can be accessed from the full URL which includes the subdomain for the account and the folder name of the weblog. For example:http://example.typepad.com/my_weblog/
http://example.typepad.com/second_weblog/
http://example.typepad.com/random/
Additional Tips
You can use your Default weblog as a main access point for all your sites by including links to all your weblogs and albums in one location. Readers will only need to know the shorter URL.
If you want to use a unique URL for each weblog, you can set up Domain Mapping. This is a feature available to Plus and Pro subscribers.
