What are "Default weblog settings"?

When a new weblog is created within your portal, certain features are enabled or disabled by default. For example, you can define that all new weblogs should offer an RSS feed by default. Such settings can be configured at your "Default weblog settings" page within your portal administration. You can find this screen at "Community&Members->More options->Default weblog settings".
The following options are available:
  • Allow search engines to index the weblog: when disabled, the weblog tells search engines not to be indexed. It is up to the search engines whether they adhere to this setting or not.
  • Display monthly archives: when enabled, a weblog displays links to monthly archives
  • Offer RSS feed: decide whether a blog should offer an RSS feed by default or not
  • Show calendar: for layouts supporting this feature, a calendar can be displayed or not
  • Show summary page: when offering multiple categories, this feature displays a summary page containing entries from all categories
  • Comment moderation: when turned on, new comments are not being published directly but need to be approved by the weblog owner first
  • Ping weblog directories (weblogs.com etc.): if enabled, those directories are being notified upon publication of new entries
  • Show guestbook: display a link to a guestbook
  • Show profile page: display a "more about me" page
  • Show recent entries: show a short list of the 5 most recent entries of the blog in the sidebar
  • Show recent comments: show the 5 most recent comments in the blog sidebar
  • Send mail upon new comment: send an e-mail upon each new comment within a weblog
