Displaying a List of Blogs You Created

The URL format for WhiteWind's blog list is

For example:
For user handle @knksm5.final-techblog.com
https://whtwnd.com/knksm5.final-techblog.com
For DID did:plc:vpjkockzv7nxnc5o4furet2x

Accessing these URLs will display a list of all blog posts created by that user. Anyone who knows the URL can access the blog list.

Creating a New Blog Post

There is a button with "+" icon at the bottom right of the WhiteWind's blog list page. Pressing this button allows you to create a new blog post.

Saving a Blog Post

The hamburger menu (the icon with three horizontal lines) in the edit screen has textboxes labeled “DID / Handle” and “PDS password”. Please fill in the following information in these textboxes:

• DID / Handle
  • Your Bluesky account handle or DID.
  • Example 1: knksm5.final-techblog.com
  • Example 2: did:plc:vpjkockzv7nxnc5o4furet2x
• PDS password
  • Bluesky app password
  • After entering this information, clicking the floppy icon will save the article.

Deleting a Blog Post

To delete a blog post, display the post and open the editing screen by clicking the button with pencil icon at the bottom of the screen. Clicking the trash can icon at the far right of the menu bar will delete the post. Deletion requires login information to PDS (same as Bluesky login information), so please enter it.

Editing an Existing Blog Post

FAQ

I want to skip entering a password when editing an article

Basically, once you login you don't need to input password again. Besides, for Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge users, clicking the key icon displayed on the right side of the address bar will show a save screen for username and password. Confirming that your own handle or DID is displayed as the username and saving it will allow the browser to autofill it next time.

Will there be any problems accessing articles after moving PDS?

Since blog articles are fetched from the PDS currently used by the article's author, moving to a different PDS will not cause broken links.
