A Quick Tour of the Reseller Control Panel

The Main Page: Blogs

Immediately after logging in, you will be taken to the Blogs page, shown below:

The Blogs page is a starting point from which you can go to any section of the Reseller Control Panel.

The Navigation Bar

The Navigation Bar is a set of tabs that spans the top of every page of the Reseller Control Panel. There is one tab for each section of the Reseller Control Panel; click on a tab to go to the corresponding section.

Your reseller username appears below the Navigation Bar's tabs. Clicking on it has the same effect as clicking on the Settings tab: you will be taken to the Settings section, which lets you modify your reseller account settings.

The Reseller Control Panel's Sections

There are seven sections in the Reseller Control Panel:

This is the section where you are taken immediately after logging in.This is also the section you are likely to use most often as it is where you manage your customers' blogs. This page lists all your customers' blogs. From this page you can add, modify and delete blogs.

Every blog that you administer comes with a package, which is a pre-defined combination of disk space and transfer-usage allotment that you can offer to your customers. This section lets you review Blogware's built-in packages and define and manage your own custom packages.

This section is for editing your reseller account settings. Here, you can change your login password, update your contact information, specify a reader account for the resellers-only blog and edit other administrative settings.

In this section, you manage blog profiles, collections of blog settings that you can apply to blogs that you create. Blog profiles allow you to pre-set your customers' blogs to match their experience and needs.

In this section, you manage component profiles. Component profiles dictate the components and layout of the blog and can be applied to a blog at the time of creation or assigned later.

CSS themes are pre-defined style sheets which your customers can use to determine the color and font scheme for their blogs. Blogware provides a number of predefined CSS themes; this section allows you to create original CSS themes to offer your customers.

This section lets you edit the "look and feel" of your customers' blog Control Panels for your customers' blogs. You can use this section to customize the interface with your own company's logo and graphic standards.
