Help forum

Hey,

I successfully created a couple of blogs myself to practice but the settings seem different from our collaborative one. On mine I can click edit, get a list of the posts with options to either view or edit. Then I can click edit next to the post I want and I get to the post square where I can edit. On our collaborative blog I can click the edit tab, but when the list comes up all I can choose is view; there isn't an edit option. I am listed as an author, so maybe it's a settings issue?

Can anyone help?

Cheers,

jason
